1. Suppose over 5 years there are many other donors who also contribute aid (up front) for the same purpose – a highly likely scenario. Will COD still be paid?
2. Suppose the Government meets the target by starving other important programs of funds – so as to get the cash – is that acceptable? Will COD be paid?
3. Suppose after a time all donors start using COD. Cannot a Government after a time simply juggle payments so that it is in effect being paid up front and benfiting from a COD flow
4. A single Indicator?. Very difficult to find a single indicator that refkects results.
5. What is the incentive for either a politician or a civil servant or even say a school headmaster to sign on to perform tricks for the donors in return for cash in five years time? Time consistency problem.
6. Hands off? No monitoring? COD program is to be audited annually by an independent auditor – what the difference?
7. Unintended consequence – COD could well be regarded as an expression of donor distrust – holding recipients accountable for years without payment or with uncertain payment
8. COD in the end does not seem to do anything about the accountability issue that is different from any other performance based funding.
