Overview
The objectives of the training is to: 1) Teach on the design and implementation of OBA and SIBs; 2) Assist the three governments, through embedded clinics, to draft the concept notes of their own initiatives using results‐based approaches. Government representatives submitted in advance their project outlines that they wished to work on during the workshop.
A joint team of GPOBA and WB Leadership, Learning and Innovation group travelled to Krakow, Poland, on September 22‐27, at the invitation of the Polish, Czech and Lithuanian governments, to hold a workshop on results‐based approaches, Output‐Based Aid (OBA) and Social Impact Bonds (SIB) in particular. The three governments requested assistance in developing their own RBF initiatives in the social sectors, mainly as part of the European Social Fund projects, and in infrastructure sectors. The 25 participants at the seminar included representatives from the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure and Development, Krakow Regional Labor Office, Czech Ministr of Labor and Social Affairs, European Social Fund Agency of Lithuania, and one representative of the European Social Fund Agency of Belgium.
