WHO WE ARE

GPRBA is a global partnership program in the World Bank Group. Through a diverse portfolio of projects, GPRBA funds, designs, demonstrates and documents results-based financing (RBF) approaches to improve the delivery of basic services in developing countries. Large development projects too often fail to include the very poor, and GPRBA is dedicated to making sure the poor and marginalized have access to electricity, water, sanitation, health care, education and other basic services necessary for growth and opportunity.

WHAT WE DO

GPRBA provides grant funding to projects covering education, energy, health, solid waste management, and water and sanitation. In addition, several studies to find the applicability of OBA/RBF in new sectors and environments have been conducted in urban transport, urban infrastructure, and affordable housing in urban settings.
