Download or read book Contracting for Public Services written by Penelope J. Brook and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new book published by the World Bank's Private Sector Advisory Services outlines an innovative approach to delivering development assistance for public basic services such as potable water, safe sanitation, modern energy, and primary education and healthcare. Called output-based aid, the approach delegates service delivery to the non-profit or for profit private sector under contracts that tie payments to the outputs or results actually delivered to target beneficiaries. The book gathers cases of innovative, output-based approaches from across the infrastructure and social sectors, and also provides a checklist for designing and implementing output-based schemes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing country governments and the development aid community are acutely aware of the need to find more effective ways to improve basic living conditions for the poor, as traditional approaches of delivering public support have not always led to the results intended. Results-based financing (RBF) instruments, which tie the disbursement of public funding to the achievement of pre-agreed results, are now recognized as one important piece of the aid delivery puzzle. The aim of these instruments is to enhance the effectiveness of public funding. 'Output-Based Aid: Lessons Learned and Best Practices' provides a practical understanding of the experience with output-based aid (OBA), a results-based instrument that is being used to deliver basic infrastructure and social services to the poor, including through public-private partnerships. OBA has been used in the World Bank Group since 2002, including more recently through the Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid, which has a mandate to design and test OBA approaches. The authors of this book analyze nearly 200 OBA projects in water and sanitation, energy, health, roads, telecommunications, and education. The piloting phase of OBA has in general been a success and OBA has demonstrated clear advantages over traditional approaches in terms of efficiently targeting subsidies and mobilizing the private sector to serve poor households that would otherwise go without an improved service. OBA has also demonstrated that monitoring for results is possible if appropriate systems are put in place. As the first comprehensive review of OBA in eight years, this book will be an essential reference for infrastructure and social services sector experts and OBA practitioners around the world including staff of international financial institutions, public and private service providers, and NGOs as well as for donors and governments who are interested in piloting or scaling up and mainstreaming OBA approaches. As the first comprehensive review of OBA in eight years, this book will be an essential reference for infrastructure and social services sector experts and OBA practitioners around the world, including staff of international financial institutions, public and private service providers, and NGOs; and for donors and governments who are interested in piloting or scaling-up and mainstreaming OBA approaches.

Book excerpt: Increasing access to basic infrastructure, and social services is critical to reducing poverty, and achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). However, increasing access is a challenge because of the gap between what it costs to deliver a desired level of service, and what can be funded through user charges. Subsidies have often played a role in funding this gap, for a variety of socio-economic reasons. However, given the political commitment by a number of countries to increase aid flows, but at the same time the mounting concerns of aid effectiveness, it is critical that subsidies be linked to the actual delivery of services, or "outputs." One way to do this is through Output-Based aid (OBA), a strategy for using explicit performance-based subsidies to deliver basic services-such as water, sanitation, electricity, transport, telecommunications, education, and health care-where policy concerns would justify public funding to complement, or replace user fees. OBA can help improve aid effectiveness by: increasing accountability; improving transparency; increasing value for money; and, reducing economic distortions.
Book Synopsis Output-Based Aid in Water and Sanitation by : Geeta Kumar
Download or read book Output-Based Aid in Water and Sanitation written by Geeta Kumar and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: This note stress that it is important to reduce the financial cost of corruption by limiting bribe payments. But even more important is to ensure that corruption does not reduce the quantity and quality of infrastructure provision. Output-based aid (OBA) is a tool that can help achieve these goals. While output-based aid can do much to help reduce the development impact of corruption, further gains may require tackling some remaining challenges.

Book excerpt: Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (GPOBA), in association with the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP), initiated a study to examine whether OBA has the potential to improve the delivery of public financing to the sanitation sector and improve access to sustainable sanitation services. The first phase of the study consisted of reviewing experience to date with OBA for sanitation and examining the potential for its application. Phase one led to the publication of a GPOBA working paper. During phase two, concept notes are being prepared to identify how OBA approaches could be introduced in a number of sanitation projects or programs that are either ongoing or in the process of being designed. Key questions raised in the study included: What explains such limited use of OBA-financing approaches for sanitation? How can OBA subsidies be delivered to providers of sanitation services? What other components (e.g., support services to small-scale independent providers, micro-finance, etc.) may be required to improve chances of success of OBA schemes for sanitation?
Book Synopsis Output-Based Aid and Sustainable Sanitation by : Sophie Tr??molet
Download or read book Output-Based Aid and Sustainable Sanitation written by Sophie Tr??molet and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Output-Based Aid (OBA) ties the disbursement of public funding to the achievement of clearly specified results that directly support improved access to basic services. OBA has emerged as an important way to finance access to basic services, but experience with OBA approaches in the sanitation sector has remained limited and there have been mixed results. Evidence from existing projects suggests that OBA could improve the targeting and efficiency of subsidy delivery, and help to develop and strengthen sanitation providers. OBA subsidies could be packaged to support services along the 'sanitation value chain,' from demand promotion to collection/access, transport, treatment, and disposal/re-use. OBA approaches for sanitation are no panacea, however, and they need to go hand-in-hand with broader reforms in the sanitation sector.

Book excerpt: Honduras has achieved a reasonable level of access to water supply and sanitation, but gaps in coverage remain, especially in rural and peri-urban areas, and service quality for those with access is often poor. To help the Government of Honduras achieve universal coverage and improve service quality, the Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (GPOBA) is funding a project to test the viability of an innovative output-based aid mechanism for financing water and sanitation services. Housed within the Honduran Social Investment Fund, this 'OBA Facility' the first such facility funded by GPOBA aims to improve access to water and sanitation services for about 15,000 low-income households, and to increase efficiency and transparency in sector investment funding. To be eligible for funding from the OBA Facility, projects must meet specific criteria and payments are made against verifiable results.
Book Synopsis Output-Based Aid and Carbon Finance by : Veronique Bishop
Download or read book Output-Based Aid and Carbon Finance written by Veronique Bishop and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out-based aid (OBA) involves the use of explicit, performance-based subsidies to deliver public services such as water and sanitation. It is used to fund the gap between people's willingness or ability to pay for a service whose delivery is deemed worth subsidizing and the cost of providing that service. It can also be used to finance public goods or to mitigate externalities such as environmental costs. One such application is carbon finance, an output-based approach to mitigating climate change. Under the Kyoto Protocol's project-based mechanisms-the Clean Development Mechanism and Joint Implementation-projects in developing and transition economies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions can receive "carbon credits." Carbon revenues can help project sponsors close the financing gap between climate-friendly projects and conventional projects, and can help industrial countries reduce their cost of compliance with the Kyoto Protocol.

Book Synopsis Access to Finance in Output-Based Aid by : Geeta Kumar
Download or read book Access to Finance in Output-Based Aid written by Geeta Kumar and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Output-Based Aid (OBA) and other results-based financing mechanisms are gaining popularity in the development context for many reasons, in particular, the desire to link scarce public funding with actual results on the ground. But withholding disbursements until the delivery of 'results' or 'outputs' requires that the service providers delivering the results must have access to finance (A2F) to pay for the 'inputs' in the first place. Such finance is not always available or affordable. The purpose of this working paper is to outline some of the key issues related to OBA and A2F. The analysis focuses on the energy, water, and health sectors. Micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) financing is the main topic; however, OBA is ultimately about poor households affording access to basic services, and many OBA schemes attempt to address A2F for households, so some of these innovations are also described. The working paper is expected to support a consultative process between experts dealing with A2F challenges and experts on OBA. This process should help raise awareness of the OBA approach among potential financiers, and help consider solutions (instruments, partnerships, capacity building) so that OBA and other similar results-based financing mechanisms can be brought to scale and integrated into broader sector policy, where appropriate.
