Shared goal o universal completion of quality primary education Unit of progress o “Assessed Completer” (a student enrolled in the last year of primary school who takes an approved standardized test) Payment o funder pays US$200 per Assessed Completer beyond base year enrollment, regardless of test scores Transparency o recipient publishes enrollments, Assessed Completers & test scores; funder contracts an agent to conduct retests in a random sample of schools Making it practical: universal primary completion

Shared goal o every child reading by 2015 Unit of progress o every child of a certain age (e.g. 8 years) that passes an approved reading assessment Payment o funder pays US$200 per additional child that passes the assessment exam beyond base year number Transparency o recipient publishes number of youth of testing age, the number of assessed youth & test scores; funder contracts an agent to conduct retests A possible application of COD Aid for reading
