Welcome to our Pipeline Dataset, which is part of the INDIGO initiative. Here you can learn about upcoming outcomes-based instruments. Different organisations around the world are designing projects with an outcome focus, such as impact bonds, outcomes funds, payment-by-results projects, social impact incentives, social impact guarantees and market building programmes. These instruments have not launched yet, that is why we call them part of a ‘pipeline’.
We collected this data in partnership with Levoca Impact Labs and with support of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. We did two rounds of data collection: March 2022 and March 2024. The pipeline projects that shared data in March 2022 and are still under development in 2024, remain visible in the pipeline dataset. The pipeline projects that shared data in March 2022 and were abandoned were erased from the dataset. Those projects that signed a contract and started delivering services were moved to the Impact Bond Dataset, if they were using an impact bond model. If they were launched but under a different outcomes mechanism, we took them down from the Pipeline Dataset and saved them for a future dataset on outcomes-based approaches.
Data Definitions: The data definitions associated with this dataset are detailed in the INDIGO Data Dictionary. You need to click on ‘Data Dictionary’ and then ‘Pipeline’. You can find a definition for the different types of instruments in this Dictionary.
Are you interested in a particular project? Download the spreadsheet and you will find the name and email of the practitioner who is working on that project. Have feedback on the dataset or know of an upcoming project and want to share data? Please send us an email at indigo@bsg.ox.ac.uk and we will be in touch soon.
Our pipeline map is a choropleth map. This dataset is about upcoming projects, and some of them are in very early stages. They may have an idea of the region or country where they want to work, but they are not sure about the specific location of the project or fund. This is why it was appropriate to represent this data with a choropleth map, rather than our usual pin map.
You can hover over a country and click on it. You will see how many outcomes-based instruments are being developed in that country. Countries with more instruments are represented with a darker green. The data behind this map was collected in two different rounds of data collection, one in March 2022 and a second one in March 2024.
