Development impact bonds: learning from the Asháninka cocoa and coffee case in Peru

Written as a case evaluation of the Asháninka Development Impact Bond (DIB), in Peru (which launched in 2015, with 110,000 USD in working capital), the paper provides an extensive assessment of DIBs contractual basis, outcomes and results, with insight into best practices and areas for improvement. Written by The Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), who acted as the independent third-party to evaluate and verify the final results, the paper outlines the indicators, pricing structure, legal setup and conclusions from the DIBs parties.
