In June the World Bank's Results in Education for All Children (REACH) Program launched 4 new analyses documenting the use of results-based financing on improving local book supply. Check them out!
REACH grants have tested the use of results-based financing to help countries make book chains more efficient and, ultimately, ensure that children receive quality books in languages they understand. Results and implementation lessons from these grants are presented in REACH's Evidence series:
Zambia: Can Financial Incentives Improve the Last-Mile Delivery of Textbooks?
Cambodia: Can Transparency and Incentives for Community Participation Increase the Supply of Textbooks to Schools?
Bangladesh: Can Incentives for Community Authors Reduce Shortages in Minority Language Reading Materials?
South Africa: Motivating Writers and Publishers to Create Quality Storybooks
The Evidence Series is part of a larger Results-based Financing Education Knowledge Suite. Additional reports from the Evidence Series can be found here, along with resources from their Practice Series and Impact Series.
