The Results in Education for All Children (REACH) Trust Fund at the World Bank funded an evaluation that measured the effectiveness of both financial and non-financial incentives at the student, classroom, and school levels in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). A new classroom routine was designed to encourage all grades 5 and 6 students to take home a classroom textbook and use it to study for a weekly quiz. Students and schools were incentivized to adopt the routine through a combination of both financial incentives at the group level and non-financial incentives at the individual level. These incentives were implemented by Cordaid (Caritas Netherlands), a Dutch NGO that has operated an RBF project in the South Kivu region of the DRC since 2008.
