IFE Cases
Different mechanisms of innovative financing for education have been implemented in diverse contexts, with various purposes and involving many stakeholders.
The case studies here displayed explore and illustrate how these mechanisms work in practice. The cases tell the story behind the design and implementation of various mechanisms, shedding light on the financing challenges they address. The case studies fall into two different categories – short cases and in-depth case studies.
In the coming months additional case studies will be published here.
In-depth case studies
This case study showcases the design and the process of establishing a catalytic platform, the India Education Outcome Fund (IEOF) of Social Finance India (SF-IND), aimed at providing sustainable and innovative funding at scale to deliver educational outcomes. The IEOF is still under development but readers of this case study can learn about what is involved in setting up such a platform by understanding the issues encountered, choices made and implementation mechanisms being considered for adoption in the marketplace.
