Gustafsson-Wright et. al. provide a helpful overview of the types of organizations that fill these roles: In recent years, socially minded investors have developed green, SDG-linked, and social impact bonds (SIBs) to leverage private finance for addressing social or environmental issues and rewarding achievement of positive outcomes[1]. SIBs are the confluence of trends around impact investing, public-private partnerships, and payment by results encouraging innovative ways to fund and accelerate impact[2]. While social welfare and employment sectors have been the focus of impact bonds in high-income countries, the health sector is emerging as a focus area for SIBs in developing countries[3].","PeriodicalId":323896,"journal":{"name":"The Essentials of Social Finance","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133906785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
