| Summary: | The Results in Education for All
Children (REACH) Trust Fund supports and disseminates
research on the impact of results-based financing on
learning outcomes. The EVIDENCE series highlights REACH
grants around the world to provide empirical evidence and
operational lessons helpful in the design and implementation
of successful performance-based programs. A REACH-supported
study tested the impact of results-based incentives for
meso-level officials (Resource Persons, or RPs) and teachers
on teacher attendance at school. The incentives led to a 15
percentage point increase in the likelihood of a teacher
being present, averaged across audit visits. The training
increased the amount of time RPs spent mentoring teachers,
but this increased mentoring did not lead to any changes in
teaching practices. |
