OBA Diagnostic Tool
Print
Email|
The OBA Diagnostic Tool (the Tool) assesses the suitability and feasibility of a proposed Output-Based Aid (OBA) scheme. It is designed to provide high-level guidance to policymakers and practitioners when considering the suitability of OBA schemes in a given sector and/or country. It can also be used as a basis for discussion with government counterparts, country teams, service providers, and others to facilitate a decision on the feasibility of OBA and its application in a given context.
The Tool is used for initial screening to evaluate the scheme against six critical factors in the areas of Institutional Capacity & Arrangements and Financial Mechanics. |
