How to achieve social and health impact – mutual learnings
Are you eager to fix your society’s problems through a new and innovative public sector mechanism? Join our study trips on impact based financing. We had a successful trip to Helsinki December 12th 2017, and two more study visits are planned for spring 2018.
Public sector organisations in Europe have begun to experiment with outcome based measures in service design and development, as a means to tackle complex problems such as local economic depression, child obesity and youth unemployment.
You are invited, to learn with us, on study trips through these communities, in the Nordic and European regions, who are at the forefront of public sector innovation, and to see first-hand how their projects have been implemented. The projects you will hear about focus on long-term sustainable, social and financial results where the public sector is responsible for the quality of the service, while private funders are responsible for up-front capital investment. Service providers and capital investment are paid out only if outcomes are met.
We will share experiences about challenges and opportunities, and hear from a diverse group of stakeholders. You will meet social investors, innovative municipality decision makers, social entrepreneurs and service providers.
