Cash On Delivery Aid for Health

چکیده
The Center for Global Development (CGD) has been working on a new approach to foreign aid called Cash on Delivery Aid (COD Aid) in which donors commit to make payments in direct proportion to measured progress towards a shared objective. The COD Aid approach builds on a trend in foreign aid modalities to pay for results and give greater autonomy to recipient countries in determining how to spend aid funds (summarized by the term “country ownership”). The approach has been described in detail in Birdsall and Savedoff, Cash on Delivery: A New Approach to Foreign Aid (2010), which includes a specific proposal to help countries achieve universal primary schooling and a chapter exploring applications of the concept to other sectors. Additional materials are available on the CGD website (www.cgdev.org).
