Investing in the wellbeing of individuals is the best investment a country can make.
Healthier and skilled individuals contribute to thriving businesses and resilient communities. Human capital through Peaceinvest’s approach is investable because the net present value of future gains far exceeds the cost of operating up-skilling and mental health programs.
Peaceinvest promotes investments in human capital by making them impactful, replicable, and profitable. We use tailored Outcome Peace Bonds to fund programs that:
Remove barriers to education and mental health support
Individual poverty and the lack of governmental resources are the main barriers to education and mental health treatments. Coordinated interventions help reduce these barriers and can improve the economic performance of countries.
Upskill communities
In developing regions, the local human capital often does not meet the requirements to sustain infrastructural and economic projects. Programs that provide learning, training, and mental healing opportunities support entire communities to become self-sufficient and attract further investments.
In areas affected by conflict and violence, this approach has helped individuals recover from traumas and acquire essential livelihood skills, enabling them to reintegrate into society as active citizens. As a result, entire communities can overcome cycles of violence.
