Peer Support Open Session (ERGO Peer Learning Group)

Peer Support Open Session

In this open session,  participants  will  discuss  the  ramifications  of  changing the terms of  outcomes contracts  during COVID-19 (e.g. renegotiate the contract;  temporary/permanent  switch to fee-for-service or grant;  pause delivery; terminate contract). The session will begin with a presentation  of the alternatives  and the reasons why project stakeholders might pursue them.  Participants are invited to offer their thinking as it relates to their own projects, what additional alternatives  might be  available, and how they are approaching transitioning projects into and out of ‘normal’ impact bond operations.
