5. SIB TO IMPROVE OUR WAY OF DEALING WITH COMPLEX SOCIAL ISSUES
reduce teenage overweightness?
find employment opportunities for the disabled population?
increase ratio of public transport (or bicycles)?
ensure hospitals are not crowded with unnecessary doctors visits?
reduce smoking (or alcohol use)?
Social issues are complex => that creates need to find new mechanisms to deal with them
integrate ex-prisoners to society and avoid high re-offending?
How do

10. THE BASIC IDEA: FOCUS ON OUTCOMES,NOT OUTPUT
Traditional public contracting
based on OUTPUTs
Social impact bonds enable contracting
based on OUTCOMEs
“Deliver the target group of overweighed
kids the following services:
> 100 hours of outdoor activities
> 100 hours of lectures on healthy diet”
Service provider focuses on delivering
services just as contracted –even
when they know it’s not working
Service provider measures its own
performance frequently and adjusts
project performance
example example
“Reduce the number of overweighed kids:
> Improve body mass index to less then 25
> Ensure that kids do not undergo social,
psychological or health problems”
vs

11. ALLOWING TO LEARN CONCURRENT WITH EXISTING ACTIVITIES
SIB projects don’t need to replace existing projects,but provide experiments alongside.
Family consultations
Special lectures at school
Example: How do we reduce the number of overweighed kids?

14. SIB FUND ENSURES APPROPRIATE LIQUIDITY FOR SIB REPAYMENT
• Public institutions make annual payments
to the SIB fund.
• The payments are sourced from savings
and/or from preventive or innovation
public budgets.
• In case the SIB project doesn’t achieve the
highest performance,some of the project
payments are saved in the SIB fund for
future SIBs,or paid back.
• The investors pay for service
providers during the course of
project.
• The impact bond fund
accumulates necessary money to
cover investors.
• Investors are paid at the end
based on project success level.

15. PROCESS OF ISSUING SOCIAL IMPACT BONDS –HOW TO GET STARTED
SIB projects start with the crucial step of defining the problem –by public organization
Projects worth 3-20m DKK per year
over 3-7 years period
16. PROGRESS WITH SEVERAL PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
*Aalborg,focus on
elderly healthcare.
*København,focus on
preventative healthcare
*Probation services for
temporary inmates,

*Ikast-Brande,

* Invite companies and NGOs

* Prequalify projects with

* Open the projects for

* Monthly performance

* Investment is released to

* Project efficacy measured

EXAMPLE HYPOTHETICAL FIGURES AND STATEMENTS
Problem: “Too many overweighed kids between age 6 and 12 in the district”
Value to public sector:
• Highly overweighed persons cost the health system over 1m DKK over their lifetime as
they are more prone to diabetes,and require operations
• Overweighed kids are more likely to require study help and additional teaching
• Overweighed kids are less likely to find a job when they finish their education
⇒ Total current public value of reducing overweigh issue is 0.8m DKK per head as a
combination of the impacts in various public budgets
⇒ Municipality agrees to pay to projects 0.4m per person whose overweigh problem is
resolved with a cap of 14% in annual return
Success parameters:
• Number of persons in target group whose body mass ratios has reduced to from
“extremely high”to “normal”.
• Number of persons in target group whose body fat ratio has reduced to less then 30%.
• The normal weigh status needs to be sustained over 18 months.
• No increase in behavioral or health problems during treatment.
19. PROCESS OF SOCIAL IMPACT BOND ISSUANCE
EXAMPLE HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO
Executing organizations
are matched with
investors
* Invite companies and NGOs
to submit projects.
* Prequalify projects with
public organization
* Open the projects for
funding by investors
1. Service providers are invited to make their bid to carry out projects concerning the
overweigh issue.
a. Red Cross Youth applies with a project to engage target group with outdoor
activities
b. Mobile app developer company Shape applies to develop a mobile app which
will get the kids to work out and earn badges
c. Therapists association apply to carry out a new child-centric therapy method
with the target group and their teachers,families and friends.
2. Municipality pre-approves all projects based on their ethical and political fit.
3. During a 3-month period,investors are invited to finance each of the projects
a. 80% of the money is raised from foundations and CSR funds with social
objectives.
b. 95% of the investors are private individuals who have some kind of experience
with or exposure to the overweighed kids.
c. Projects (a) and (b) receive adequate funding for pilot and start implementation
20. PROCESS OF SOCIAL IMPACT BOND ISSUANCE
EXAMPLE HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO
• Red Cross project focuses on 1000 overweighed kids between 6-12 divided into
two cohorts based on their age.
• Red Cross Youth finds out that in order to move the overweighed kids to enjoy
and compete on outdoor sports such as kayaking,the kids need to have peers who
do not have the overweigh problem
• They also find out that finding appropriate equipment for the target group is
essentially a major part of the problem,and they make necessary arrangements to
procure the equipment.
• They receive project payments in 3 steps; initially (40%), upon reaching the
desired body-weight with the first cohort (30%) and upon sustaining the body-
weight for one year with the first cohort (30%).
• The interim impact assessment reports show encouraging results,but some delays
in the execution.
• By adjusting program activities and calendar,Red Cross manages to deliver above
the minimum impact threshold.
Projects are delivered on
pre-agreed budget and
timeline
* Monthly performance reviews,
and constant adjustments to
project methodology
* Investment is released to
service providers upon achieving
milestones
21. PROCESS OF SOCIAL IMPACT BOND ISSUANCE
EXAMPLE HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO
• Final impact assessment shows success with 60% of the target group
• Red Cross project receives enough funding to cover project costs plus a return
which corresponds to 7% annual return on investment
• Funds and private persons who funded this project are encouraged to fund other
social impact bonds
• Project assessment studies show that the method employed creates 3 times more
value for society then its cost
• Municipality decides to implement the project with scale with all target group
• Red Cross leads implementation by training municipal employees that
implemented SIB,as well as others.
⇒ The public workers are convinced about the efficacy of the new approach proven
project carried out by civic sector –which they previously resisted
⇒ A new method/approach to help kids with overweigh problems considered risky
by municipality is implemented
