The International Network for Data on Impact and Government Outcomes – INDIGO - is a community of researchers, policymakers and data enthusiasts who share an interest in using and reusing data on social outcomes. INDIGO is set up as a data and learning collaborative where different organisations share their data on a voluntary basis and learn from each other. The Impact Bond Dataset is an example of this collaborative approach. We believe that collecting more and better data on outcomes-based contracts and offering it to the community of practitioners in an accessible format is a key part of our mission.
In that context, our Hack and Learn events are one of our INDIGO engagement activities. This report reflects on the learnings and experiences of the participants of the September 2023 INDIGO Hack and Learn. Participants include attendees that participated in one or more teams, challenge leaders (team leaders) or co-host representatives. The report aims at reflecting on the learnings and challenges from participants. This is not an academic research report nor is it an evaluation.
