Impact-Linked Payments: A Model for Incentivising Service Delivery to Deaf Learners in Kenya
Authors: Arushi Terway, Nisha Ramachandran, Archana Mehendale
The Impact-Linked Fund for Education uses Impact-Linked Payments to support eKitabu, a for-profit social enterprise, in enhancing education for deaf and hard-of-hearing learners. This innovative financing tool enables development funders to provide funding to service providers such as eKitabu contingent on the service provider achieving specific educational outcomes. eKitabu plans to leverage this funding to boost enrolment and improve learning outcomes for deaf and hard-of-hearing learners in pre-primary and primary schools across Kenya.
