The Aga Khan Development Network has a great deal of experience with blended finance and outcome-based financing. Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) implemented an impact bond in Portugal focused on "family literacy." AKF Portugal was the social investor, the National Early Childhood Professionals Association was the implementing partner and the Ministry of Education the public partner; together with a research partner ISPA (Institute of Applied Psychology) and the outcome-analysis partner MAZE (Social Investment Lab). The main goal of the project was to improve literacy skills in writing and reading together with family literacy practises contributing to lower retention rates in basic education and promote school success.

Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise.
