Description
Summary:This note stress that it is important to reduce the financial cost of corruption by limiting bribe payments. But even more important is to ensure that corruption does not reduce the quantity and quality of infrastructure provision. Output-based aid (OBA) is a tool that can help achieve these goals. While output-based aid can do much to help reduce the development impact of corruption, further gains may require tackling some remaining challenges.
