Today, a historic #IDBAnnualMeeting ended with strong support from our member countries for a transformational change of @BIDInvest, with approval of a new business model and a US$3.5 billion paid-in capital increase. We call this shift Originate to Share and it will enable us to multiply resources, assume more risk, derisk investments, engage more #investors, finance a larger number of projects, and scale our #impact to improve lives. @the_IDB

Stronger impact measurement and management practices make for a stronger #impactinvesting industry. At the #GIINForum23, our Managing Director for Development Effectiveness, @almaffioli, shared insights on how we manage our portfolio for impact at #IDBInvest and the importance of focusing on results.
It is frustrating reading articles on the productivity impact of WFH based on anecdotes from CEOs and politicians. These policies impact millions of employees, so should be grounded in data and research.
I summarized for The Hill what we know, covering the three main sources. These show mostly positive productivity impacts of WFH:
1) Micro-economic studies: these find small positive impacts of hybrid WFH on productivity, and mixed impacts of fully-remote WFH (negative when it's badly managed, positive when its well-managed).
2) Macro data: this shows US productivity growth accelerated as levels of WFH have jumped, suggesting a positive impact
3) Market data: this reveals massive adoption of WFH by firms globally and mostly favorable feedback from managers, suggesting a positive impact.

Check out the results of our new study with @BRKAmbiental showing that increasing water and sewerage coverage decreases both hospitalizations and healthcare costs for water-related diseases in Brazil, including dengue.
Access to clean water & sanitation saves lives. But millions of people in #LAC still live without it. How can companies play a leading role? On #WorldWaterDay, we invite you to download our DEBrief produced w/ @BRKAmbiental in Brazil. #SDG6@the_IDB https://t.co/kYm7qCOdLc
