We have compiled the latest updates on impact bonds around the world from our Impact Bond Dataset. This month, a completed SIB from the UK on Mental Health and Employment Partnership (MHEP) Tower Hamlets was added to the dataset.
* Projects fall under the 'service delivery complete' category when they finished delivering services, but they haven't received the last outcome payment yet. Data definitions for the Impact Bond Dataset can be found here.

The number of service users is a combination of two values. Completed projects have data on the actual number of service users and ongoing projects have data on target number of service users. If we have data on actual numbers, we will use them. If the project only has data for targets, we will use target numbers. This calculation is based on the variables "Service and beneficiaries - Targeted number of unique service users or beneficiaries" and "Service and beneficiaries - Actual number of unique service users or beneficiaries". In future we propose to report on these figures separately.
The final figure of capital raised is based on the variables "Total Investment Commitment - Exact Amount in USD" (for the global landscape) and "Total Investment Commitment - Exact Amount in relevant currency" (for the UK landscape). This figure is calculated using only data that are publicly available.
