Support for implementation of performance-based financing in Asia and Africa
Performance-Based Financing (PBF) is a system that links payment mechanisms (i.e. “Financing”) to outcomes (i.e. “Performance”). The project is aimed to have a better understanding about how PBF is being operated in Public Health sector in Asian and African countries and how data is collected and managed for PBF projects in such countries. Analysis from the projects is meant to assist PBF practitioners during implementation.
Cameroon results-based financing impact evaluation
Performance-Based Financing in Healthcare is a system that links payment mechanisms (i.e. “Financing”) to outcomes (i.e. “Performance”). Performance-Based Financing in Africa is aimed to help increase coverage and improve quality for maternal and child health services. Since PBF has not been implemented on any meaningful scale and been systematically evaluated in Cameroon, the results from the impact evaluation are also expected to help design national PBF policy.
