The CSIS Project on Prosperity and Development (PPD) is pleased to share a new report, Time for a Third Wave of Enterprise Funds (https://csis-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/publication/180907_TimeForAThird.pdf?08YeHSkQpRymhFHkPjZmG39bX55Bhrc9&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=c9f4df5984-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-c9f4df5984-145367789) .

Enterprise funds are an innovative but underutilized U.S. foreign policy tool created in the early 1990s that use U.S. government funding to stimulate economic development by investing in the private sectors of developing countries. Unlike grants or loans directed to foreign governments, enterprise funds use U.S. government funding to invest in private equity and credit in emerging markets. This paper makes the case for launching a third wave of enterprise funds. It provides an overview of the enterprise fund model and its achievements, offers suggestions for improvements, and recommends six countries and one region in which current economic and political conditions are ripe for the launch of new enterprise funds.

The objective of this paper is to inform policymakers on the merits of enterprise funds as a strategy for sustainable economic development and to offer a select list of countries of geostrategic importance to the United States where enterprise funds could be established in the immediate future. Enterprise funds are an important additional tool and not intended to supplant existing development tools, such as OPIC or a new development finance institute. Please read the full report to learn more about how enterprise funds could help improve economic conditions in key strategic countries to the U.S. and build deeper partnerships.
