Description
Summary:Output-Based Aid (OBA) has been used since the early 2000s to deliver basic infrastructure and social services to the poor, typically through public-private partnerships. Given the limited experience with OBA in the water and sanitation sector, Global Partnership OBA has made a concerted effort to test OBA approaches in the sector. A growing number of regional and local private providers have emerged, and some projects involve public providers. This note is based on the World Bank study 'Output-Based Aid: Lessons Learned and Best Practices' and aims to share experiences so far with the use of OBA in water and sanitation.
