In the initial stages of the pandemic – especially in contexts where the state machinery was caught unawares or lacked capacity, or both, social enterprises (SEs) or socially-driven private enterprises – have been particularly active and have stepped up to provide relief.

Additionally, it explores tools and mechanisms that could be used to substantiate results while taking into account the need to reduce in-person interactions in light of COVID-19. Lastly, building on the foundation of successful GPRBA projects, the paper provides an overview of the financing arrangements that can be utilized to collaborate with SEs. 2020-08-11T14:22:33Z 2020-08-11T14:22:33Z 2020-08-04 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/581601596576509210/Results-Based-Financing-Through-Social-Enterprises-A-White-Paper-for-the-Global-Partnership-for-Results-Based-Approaches-in-Response-to-the-Covid-19-Pandemic http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34319 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research
