Abstract
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.
