Abstract
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.
