UBS has been a leader in advancing innovation in social finance leading the world’s first development impact bond (DIB) in education, which exceeded its targets of boosting schooling for child learners in rural India – the impetus for the new and largest education DIB to date, bringing together a coalition of public and private sector partners to change the futures of 200,000 children in India.
