Book Chain : Incentivizing Actors in the Book Chain to Increase Availability of Quality Books for Children

REACH - World Bank Group 2019

This note summarizes the main takeaways of a discussion between REACH grantees. The goal was to identify the main bottlenecks in the book supply chain and to secure buy-in from government and other key players on the solutions that the grantees were proposing to address those bottlenecks. Grantees introduced creative, sustainable initiatives to boost book production, distribution, and access, using results-based financing to incentivize desired behavior.
