**Who we are**: **Instiglio**'s mission is to unlock the full impact potential of governments to deliver meaningful outcomes for their citizens. We support our partners to integrate Results-Based Financing (RBF) in delivery systems and practices, design data-driven performance management systems and strengthen long-term service delivery capabilities of government partners. Over the last 10 years, Instiglio has influenced practices, capabilities, and policy frameworks of governments and aid institutions, creating ripple effects and shaping how hundreds of millions of dollars are deployed. We have delivered over 100 projects with governments, multilateral organizations, foundations and service providers in 30 low - and middle-income countries to improve outcomes. This work has covered sectors including education, livelihoods, workforce development, health, gender, and climate. Core contributing factors to the influence Instiglio has had thus far include our commitment to delivering cutting-edge innovative work, our unrivaled focus on impact, and our collaborative, highly skilled and diverse team. Some of our important milestones include the world's first Development Impact Bond (education, India); the launch of performance-based contracts with governments in Africa (employability, Morocco), the structuring of a $60 million results-based transfer system for local school districts (education, Peru), and facilitating MCC's effective use of RBF through a four-year strategic partnership.
