What if a country doesn’t meet the goal of universal primary education?
The COD Aid contract is not an “all-or-nothing” form of assistance. A country would be paid a set amount for each additional student that completes primary schooling and takes an approved test, regardless of the level of coverage it reached. If the country failed to increase completion, then it would not receive any payment from this form of assistance, though it might continue to get support for educational programs through other sources.
