Our latest study – A novel approach for assessing creative enterprises to attract impact investment in Kazakhstan – highlights the importance of introducing alternative methods for measuring the unique value of creative industries. Traditional economic indicators remain ineffective in assessing sectors that generate long-term social and environmental impact on people’s quality of life and the state of natural ecosystems.
The research examines global best practices in impact assessment and the potential of impact investments to stimulate the development of Kazakhstan’s creative ecosystem. The report offers practical examples, methods and recommendations that will enable creative enterprises to access impact capital and scale their social effects. Special attention is given to the role of intermediary organisations and the opportunities available to impact investors.
