LEVERAGING 0.8%: REBALANCING FROM (direct & indirect) public funds based on top down public policies(from here) to governmental institutions (there) for mostly humanitarian reasons, TO private sector (business and civil society organisations') collaboration and "bottom-up co-creation" with local communities (with important role for women and youth) for focused livelihood/cluster development and creation of entrepreneurship (there) facilitated by public guarantees(from here).
Export Credit Insurance schemes (with political risk protection for exporters by government here) are an interesting template to redesigned: create a Social, Biodiversity&Climate Impact Guarantee Scheme, whereby the guarantee (for which a fee must be paid!) will only be paid out if certain preset public policy criteria will have been met (improved health, education, productivity, less flooding, etc).
A variant hereof may be to create a Carbon Floor Price Guarantee Scheme to accelerate the renewable/clean energy agenda (eg. Euro 30/ton in 2020?)
