Miguel, AntónioSuhr, Benedikt2024-11-152024-11-152024-01-312023-12-19http://hdl.handle.net/10362/175293This thesis investigates the viability of Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) in funding educational equity initiatives in Germany, with a focus on ArbeiterKind.de, an NGO addressing disparities in educational success between children from worker and academic households. SIBs, emerging in the UK in 2010 as pay-for-success financial tools, link private investment to public goals, funding social interventions with returns contingent on success. This study explores SIBs' adaptability in education, assessing their feasibility and strategic potential for ArbeiterKind.de's specific challenges. Despite SIBs' promises, the thesis questions the suitability of ArbeiterKind.de’s intervention model for SIBs, highlighting the complexity of successfully implementing such a financing mechanism.engSocial impact bondsSocial financingEducational disparityNon-governmental organizationsmaster thesis203605160
