ECD Development Impact Bond
The Impact Bond Innovation Fund (IBIF), a Social Impact Bond (SIB), was the first ECD-focused transaction of its type in the Global South. It was implemented as a public-private partnership to determine the feasibility of this approach to financing for early childhood development initiatives in the South African context.
Work on the SIB began in 2015 and it was launched in September 2018 and was completed by December 2020. It sought to improve the cognitive and socio-emotional development outcomes of more than 2000 children in the low-income communities of Atlantis and Delft, in the Western Cape province of South Africa, over the course of three years. The transaction supported an existing home visiting programme targeting 3 to 5 year olds, delivered by the Foundation for Community Work (FCW).

World Vision U.S. - Edward Winter - Senior Technical Advisor
Toby has really challenged us to think about the value of the data we are collecting. He has brought the right critical thinking skills to challenge us and the practical skills to create a stronger system. As a result, we have clearer indicators and we are better able to manage our program.
Impande Yotshani - Maria Ligget - Deputy Director
We have worked with Toby and Logic IMS since 2021. With his assistance we have managed to build a digital data management system that has allowed us to scale our work. His expertise and dependability has been invaluable, making a real impact on how we operate and grow.
Save the Children South Africa - Jean Paul Kloppers - Research Manager
After working unsuccessfully with two different consultants to develop a digital solution for our programme monitoring and reporting, working with Toby was great. His background in M&E meant that he quickly grasped our needs and was able to provide practical guidance on all aspects of the system and more – from advice on getting buy in from field workers to suggestions on improving questionnaires. Toby really goes the extra mile and I highly recommend his services!
HOPE Worldwide South Africa - Ntombi Mahlaule - MER Manager
I have the pleasure of working with Toby from LogicIMS and I must say that his MER background proved to be invaluable in understanding our organization's needs. He went above and beyond to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the service we received. Toby is an excellent trainer who was always available to assist us with any questions we had. He was patient, understanding and ensured that we received more than we asked for. He was able to come to our rescue when we were struggling with finding a suitable data collection App. He provided us with the perfect solution that allowed our field staff to collect information onsite directly into the App, take pictures of the clients being served, and even allowed them to sign right on the App.
The impact of Toby's work has been phenomenal. Overall, I highly recommend Toby and Logic IMS for any MER-related work. His expertise, professionalism, and dedication to providing exceptional service are truly commendable. Thank you, Toby, for everything you have done for us. We look forward to continuing to work with you in the future!
