Using payment by results to distribute international development aid risks being more about looking good that doing good, according to an academic at the University of East Anglia (UEA).
Payment by Results (PbR) - where results already achieved directly determine the amount of aid paid - is becoming increasingly important for various donors and recipients, from small NGOs to national governments. For example, governments have been paid by donors for each additional child completing primary education or for each vaccination given, while NGOs have been paid for the number of functioning wells or the additional number of students meeting a set learning outcome.
