bold idea
Radically improve life opportunities in developing countries by developing innovative contracting and financing structures that tie public funding awards to real world performance outcomes.
organization overview
Instiglio radically improves the way governments and donors fund social programs in developing countries. Instiglio structures impact-based contracts called social impact bonds (SIBs) where governments pay NGOs and their private investors only for achieving pre-defined outcomes. With its performance incentives, SIBs attract additional private capital to the social sector and foster a culture of performance in NGOs. Instiglio’s innovation saves taxpayer money and improves performance of social programs.
