Abstract
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?
