Governance and accountability are foundational design principles of the AVPA Mental Health Fund — not afterthoughts. The CPF features a multi-layered governance architecture specifically designed to meet the standards of institutional investors, outcome payers, and international philanthropies.
At Fund Level:
- AVPA CPF Board: Multi-sector representation with AVPA Board oversight.
- AVPA CPF Investment Committee: Dedicated healthcare investment experts specifically convened for deal evaluation.
Impact Measurement Framework: The Fund employs rigorous outcomes-based contracting — including Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) and Pay-for-Success models. Critically, financial reimbursements are linked to verified outcomes, not activity outputs.
Core KPIs tracked include:
- Number of individuals reached with mental health services
- Suicide attempt reduction rates
- Stigma reduction metrics (measured via validated tools) Co-investment ratios from public and private sources
- Capital deployed vs. mobilisation targets
