  National discussion papers

  Type of output:Strategy

  Five discussion papers, one per partner country, illustrate political scenarios in the field of social outcome contracting and investing, opportunities and barriers for further development of SIBs

  National discussion papers illustrate political objectives, broad governments' approach to social impact investments' policies, while identifying barriers and demands that can be jointly addressed. Papers were drafted with help of national and regional public authorities. Five discussion papers, one per partner country, illustrate political scenarios in the field of social outcome contracting and investing, opportunities and barriers for further development of SIBs. On the basis of this research a transnational advisory board of SIB practitioners, investors, policymakers and academics share ideas, answer questions and debate how to construct a common methodology which would harmonise approaches to SII policies.
