Results-Based Financing (RBF) refers to a broad family of financial instruments. With RBF, public funding is provided
only if pre-specified results have been achieved. Its use in the sanitation sector has so far been limited, as opposed
to in other sectors such as health or education. This working paper aims to identify practical ideas for advancing the use of innovative financing mechanisms focused on results and performance, with a view to supporting the delivery of sustainable sanitation services.
