Development Impact Bond (DIB) for Safe Sanitation
March 2022
Development Impact Bonds (DIB) are increasingly being used to finance social services. In India, a few DIBs have been successfully launched in the health and education sector. This slide deck describes CWAS’s exploration to develop India’s first DIB for sanitation. It outlines a review of recent DIBs in India, discussions with various stakeholders, and conceptualization of the bond. Various options are developed for the proposed DIB structure in relation to the role of risk investors, outcome funders and the possibility of using CSR funds.
