The objective of this activity is to raise awareness and generate interest from the Government of Tunisia (GoT) for the Output-Based Aid (OBA) approach, through dissemination of the Moroccan experience with the water and sanitation sectorsOBA pilots. The dissemination activity has been developed in response to interest expressed by Tunisian officials about OBA, and its potential application in Tunisia. In order to maximize the dissemination effort, the proposed activity will have three components:

1. A training event to introduce the OBA core principles, their application in different countries and share experience on OBA, including the water pilots in Morocco;
2. A study tour for 6-8 senior Tunisian officials to Morocco to visit selected pilot sites and meet with key partners in charge of the implementation of the OBA pilots;
3. A workshop to generate buy-in and discuss opportunities to introduce OBA and possible next steps.

Funding for the dissemination activity has been approved by the PMU.
