description:

The Outcome-Based Funding Modality (OBFM) and the “decentralized” funding modality have jointly proven to be an effective mechanism to adapt funds and interventions to the needs of concrete national contexts and have shown that the inherent flexibility is an asset in country selection, in responding to a country’s specific (changing) needs, and in case of unexpected changes in the country context.

context:

Changing conditions in countries may result in substantial delays in expenditures (e.g. in Paraguay and Jordan in 2016-17), and due to the OBFM these unspent funds can be re-allocated in a timely fashion to other countries (in this case to Tunisia where everything was in place to receive these funds).

success:

The positive issue is that funds can be transferred to other countries.

challenges:

The negative lesson is that in some countries funds cannot be spent in the time period allotted for it due to internal, political or other reasons, or to reasons of (limited) national capacity.
