Results Based Financing Himdat Bayusuf, Education Specialist, World Bank, May 2014 Disbursement Linked Indicator Approach
Why Performance-Based Funding? Origin Traditional Funding Performance-Based Funding • Characteristics • Funding based on input factors • Expenditures • Issues • No talk of performance of institutions: • Quality of education • Learning/employability • Scale-up of education • Research publication and outreach to companies • Institutions pursue their goals • Aim: • To achieve better results • Respects institutional autonomy and leadership, and still align institutional goals with development goals • Improve Institutional capacity to plan, decide and implement • Increase accountability • Objective, predictable, and transparent funding allocation • Additionally for the WB: support a government program, pilot an approach to results-based financing, and use of government procurement rules to strengthen capacity
How does Results-Based financing work? • Govt, WB and institutions design a government program: performance and funding agreement to establish Africa Centers of Excellence: • Results: measurable and within control of institution • Disbursements • Linked to results and • Reimbursement of selected costs • Costs: • Investment line - in budget • regular salaries and other recurrent costs– in budget
The basic idea WB Govt Institution • Financing Agreement: • - Results • Disbursement • Costs • Performance Agreement: • - Same Results • Same Disb. • Same Costs = + TA • Govt only disburses when WB disburses => no financial risk to government
