Loneliness and Social Isolation in older people, a growing social problem with strong economic impact, should be tackled in a preventative way through interventions in individuals considered lonely or being at higher risk of becoming lonely. ‘Mais Proximidade, Melhor Vida’ is a good example of such an intervention that was validated by AMPMV in Lisbon and is intended to replicate in Oporto. The aim of this thesis is to explore whether a Social Impact Bond (SIB), a new social innovative financing mechanism, is a suitable way of financing the growth of the intervention of AMPMV and to model a SIB proposal.
