Following on from last year’s roundtable, “Developing Social Impact Bonds in Asia“, much progress has been made since then, and we are bringing on board our final partners in one of Singapore’s first Social Impact Bonds (SIBs).
Also known as Pay For Success (PFS), the first PFS project was launched in the UK in 2010. This innovative financing vehicle that marries both philanthropy and impact investing has received significant attention globally due to its data-driven, multi-sector, and catalytic nature. Today, over 100 projects have been launched in the world, but almost none in Southeast Asia – yet.
This session welcomes funders who are interested in being a part of launching a pioneering PFS project in Singapore, and/or adopting PFS as a part of your funding strategy.
This roundtable will cover:
- The global experience of PFS
- Adapting the rationale and mechanics of PFS models to the Asian context
- Overview of actively developing PFS projects in the region
- Deep dive into the structuring of one specific project in Singapore, focused on inclusive employment for persons with disabilities
Join AVPN, Tri-Sector Associates and KPMG for this exciting session –
and possibly write a chapter in Singapore’s history for
outcomes-based giving as well as innovative finance!
Registration is only verified upon confirmation.
