Welcome to our Impact Bond Dataset, which is part of the INDIGO initiative. Here you can explore our interactive maps to find out data on impact bonds in their various stages of development around the world. You can switch maps by clicking on the top right button. The marker map shows locations where impact bond projects are delivering their services. On the choropleth map, countries are coloured according to the number of impact bond projects that they have. This map is useful to count projects regardless of their delivery locations.
You can discover the different policy areas impact bonds are working in as well as their timelines and networks. We collect data for publication and offer commentary on a rolling quarterly basis at our INDIGO Peer Learning Group.
