Results-Based Financing

Results-Based Financing (RBF) is a financial approach where payments are made only when specific outcomes or results are achieved. Instead of paying upfront for services or projects, funders wait to see tangible improvements, such as better health outcomes, increased school attendance, or reduced carbon emissions. This method encourages efficiency and accountability, as service providers are motivated to deliver real results. By linking funding to performance, RBF aims to ensure that resources are used effectively to create positive change in communities or sectors like healthcare and education.
