The Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (GPOBA) : annual report 2008
Gruss,Hans Jurgen
This annual report gives an overview of what the Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (GPOBA) is doing to increase access to basic services for the poor and to improve the delivery of services that exhibit positive externalities, such as improvements in health and reductions in carbon emissions. The report explains the concept of Output-Based Aid (OBA) and why it is needed; describes GPOBA's activities in support of OBA, including grant agreements for subsidy funding, technical assistance, and dissemination; provides data on GPOBA's activities and finances; and identifies lessons and challenges for future and ongoing OBA projects. This year GPOBA more than doubled its portfolio of signed grant agreements to US$72 million, with new projects aimed at increasing access to essential services such as clean water for low-income families in Cameroon, Mozambique, and Uganda, and healthcare services for poor mothers in Yemen. In Nepal, a new GPOBA grant is co-financing the installation of biogas plants in remote areas, supporting the government and other donors' efforts to bring affordable energy to poor households and to reduce carbon emissions and deforestation.
