The Initiative for Inclusive Entrepreneurship (IIE) has played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between public and private funding and ensuring that capital reaches small, BIPOC-owned businesses that need it most. To date, IIE has secured over $177M in loans, loan matches, grants, and private capital for underserved small businesses and emerging fund managers. With the pilot successfully completed, Hyphen announced that the Milken Institute would serve as IIE’s new home, effective July 1, 2024. The Milken Institute’s leadership will continue to drive IIE’s mission and groundbreaking work forward through its extensive experience and network. https://lnkd.in/eddAzaQd #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness #opportunity

Expanding local, national, and regional early warning systems and enabling them to interact beyond their silos with a global network will require ongoing commitment and funding from the public, philanthropic, and private sectors. Since 2020, the Milken Institute has promoted collaboration to develop and improve early warning systems (EWS) for pandemic preparedness and health security, convening experts and stakeholders to outline a vision for a global early warning network, as well as key considerations for governance, data, and financing. These reports summarize the findings and recommendations from four Financial Innovations Labs® held around the globe. https://lnkd.in/eg_GtT2V #innovativefinance #publicprivatepartnerships

In this week's much-delayed Economics on the Ground, I focus on a key issue as a coda to Women's History Month: how the historic structures and economic opportunities for women, particularly working mothers, have eroded over time and how it is essential to restore them. The childcare and work-from-home issues remain particularly topical today, especially post-2020.
