Editorial of Patrick Guillaumont

Patrick Guillaumont is the President of Ferdi. The Foundation for International Development Study and Research (Ferdi), was created in 2003 on the initiative of the Cerdi (University of Auvergne and CNRS). Its purpose is to promote a fuller understanding of international economic development and the factors that influence it.

"The partnership between I&P and the Ferdi is a long-standing one to say the least! We notably worked together last year on two ambitious projects. First, the publication of the book Entreprenante Afrique, to which the Ferdi contributed by financing the preparatory research work. We then worked together on the study “Investing in Africa’s Development”, published in October 2016. I

A few months ago, the Ferdi  launched its Institute for Advanced Studies in Sustainable Development (IHEDD), a private higher education establishment whose mission is to respond to current issues in public development policy on the basis of research results (environment, fiscal policies, health issues…)

From October 9 to 11, 2017 in Paris, the Institute and I&P will organize a high-level training on impact investing. The seminar will allow the participants to understand the issues of impact investment and to fully immerse themselves in the initiatives of some pioneers in France (Citizen Capital, Phitrust, Livelihoods Venture ...). It will give them all the tools to become themselves actors of the impact investing industry. The Ferdi is glad to partner one more time with I&P on this very innovative project!"
