Can Preconditions for Results-Based Financing Be Established in Fragile States?

This report explores the feasibility of establishing preconditions for results-based financing (RBF) in fragile states, using Haiti as a case study. It details the efforts of the Results in Education for All Children (REACH) Trust Fund in supporting the Government of Haiti to develop a quality assurance system (QAS) for primary schools. The QAS aims to improve governance, enhance data systems for measuring results, and create the necessary environment for introducing RBF in the education sector. The report also discusses the challenges faced by Haiti's education sector, including high enrollment rates but weak student achievement, and the role of private providers in filling the gap due to insufficient public schools.
