Won’t it be difficult and expensive for the country to gather detailed information required for the report and audit?
Possibly, but this is a necessary investment for obtaining detailed and good quality information about educational outcomes regardless of how the educational program is financed. Information about learning outcomes would be of great use to recipient country policymakers and of greater utility for management decisions than the information currently gathered to monitor and evaluate traditional project aid. The audits paid for by donors are not necessarily any more expensive than the monitoring and evaluation that is typically done for other kinds of foreign assistance.
