Publications

Some things I'm currently working on.

Some things I used to work on people thought fit to publish in more or less formal ways.

Output-Based Aid

Served as Team Lead to design and implement Output-Based Aid (OBA) projects and built a Monitoring and Evaluation team for the Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (GPOBA)

OBA is a results-based financing approach to increasing access to basic services—such as infrastructure, healthcare, and education that delegates service delivery to a third party and pays on results delivered.
