Mark Fisher says 50 SIBs are in the UK pipeline

For those of you interested in counting the number of social impact bonds in the world, another data point came up in the written testimony that Mark Fisher delivered to the U.S. Congress last week. Fisher writes: “There are currently 15 SIBs in the UK, with over 50 in the development pipeline.” Most of the 15 SIBs in implementation are captured in the SIB map on the Instiglio web page. I do not know much about the “over 50” programs that are in development, but judging from the topics that have been chosen by the previous 15 projects, as well as ones that have been launched around the world, the 50 SIBs in the pipeline will likely focus primarily on redicivism, workforce development and foster care.
