Chris Fox and Gary Painter will be speaking about the UK and US experience of Social Impact Bonds at a seminar at USC’s London office. The event on the 18^th June is co-convened by Social Finance and will also feature Robert Pollock who leads for Social Finance on public sector transformation.

A new book, Payment by Results and Social Impact Bonds, jointly authored by experts from Manchester Metropolitan University, University of Southern California and Nonprofit Finance evaluates what’s known to date about the effectiveness of an approach to contracting that ties payment for service delivery to the achievement of measurable outcomes. The approach includes Payment by Results and Social Impact Bonds in the UK and Pay for Success in the US. Regardless of differences in implementation between the UK and US, this approach offers a way for governments to scale up effective programs and interventions, as well as test innovative models of service delivery.

This event is by invitation only.
