Results-based payments provide funding conditional on actions undertaken by target beneficiaries and verified by third parties. This approach paper outlines that this evidence review will adopt a broad approach to take stock of the literature on the effectiveness of RBP interventions across (1) all sectors where they have been used (such as agriculture, education and health); (2) multiple types of outcomes; and (3) multiple levels (namely, assessments of RBP interventions that target outcomes at the beneficiary, service provider, investor and system-wide levels).

The approach paper and approach brief for this evidence review are available.
