The Client Challenge

What Social & Public Enterprises face
when they cross borders.

The professional services needs of development finance institutions, impact investors, and social enterprises are distinct from those of commercial clients — and consistently underserved by advisers who understand commercial transactions but lack the context to navigate DFI procurement requirements, blended finance structures, or south-south capital flow mechanics.

"Development finance is genuinely multi-jurisdictional — the capital, the structure, the deployment, and the reporting obligations all exist in different legal systems simultaneously."

WONE Impact brings together the local expertise to execute in emerging markets with the cross-border infrastructure to coordinate — across the legal documentation, tax structuring, audit and assurance, and ESG reporting obligations that development sector organisations carry simultaneously in multiple jurisdictions.

01
Multi-jurisdictional deployment with complex governance requirements
A DFI deploying into East Africa, structuring through Luxembourg, with board approval in Washington and reporting obligations in London faces governance and compliance requirements across four legal systems simultaneously. No single firm handles all of this.
02
ESG reporting that satisfies multiple frameworks across multiple jurisdictions
CSRD for European entities, TCFD for UK-listed vehicles, GRI for international programmes, IRIS+ for impact measurement — large development sector organisations face reporting requirements under multiple frameworks simultaneously.
03
Procurement and contracting in markets with high regulatory complexity
NGOs and multilateral organisations procuring services across emerging markets face procurement frameworks that combine international requirements from donors with local legal requirements in the market.
04
South-south capital flows — where the expertise is genuinely scarce
Capital flowing from GCC investors into African infrastructure requires advisers with expertise in both the source and the destination market. Almost no network is strong in both.

Common Questions

What Social & Public Enterprises
usually ask us.

Yes. WONE Impact partners have direct experience working within DFI procurement frameworks — World Bank Group, IFC, AfDB, EBRD, IDB, and bilateral DFI requirements. We understand the documentation standards, the procurement compliance obligations, and the reporting requirements that come with DFI capital.
Yes. WONE has European partners with direct CSRD expertise — including the double materiality assessment, ESRS disclosure requirements, and the assurance obligations that come into scope at different thresholds.
South-south flows require expertise in both the source and destination markets — which very few networks can genuinely deliver. WONE South is specifically designed for this: our strongest networks are in the markets where south-south capital originates (GCC, Southeast Asia, Latin America) and flows to (Africa, South Asia, Pacific).
