What’s the difference between COD Aid and output-based aid?
Output-based aid programs generally pay for units that are easily measured but not necessarily identical to the true goal of the program. For example, output-based water projects may contract with a water services agency to pay for the number of water connections that are completed but not for the delivery of potable water; an output-based health program might pay for the number of children who are screened for malnutrition, but not for the number of children who reach appropriate weight for height. By contrast, COD Aid is associated more closely with the program’s ultimate aim – in this case, children completing primary school with attention to the quality of schooling. A second difference is that most output-based aid programs contract directly with service providers while COD Aid is conceived primarily for engaging national or subnational governments.
