Introduction of Performance-Based Financing in Burundi Was Associated with Improvements in Care and Quality

Several governments in low- and middle-income countries have adopted performance-based financing to increase health care use and improve the quality of health services. We evaluated the effects of performance-based financing in the central African nation of Burundi by exploiting the staggered rollout of this financing across provinces during 2006–10.We found that performance-based financing increased the […]

Pay-for-performance in resource-constrained settings: Lessons learned from Thailand’s Quality and Outcomes Framework

In 2010, Thailand introduced the first pay-for-performance (P4P) programme, called on-top payment, in order to reduce variations in quality and accessibility of care provision by encouraging CUPs to improve infrastructure and staffing. Since this programme was criticized for not clearly contributing to the quality of services and health outcomes, it was replaced by the Quality […]

This paper presents findings from a study which sought to understand why health workers in the results-based financing (RBF) arrangements in Zimbabwe reported being satisfied with the improvements in working conditions and compensation, but paradoxically reported lower motivation levels compared to those not working under RBF arrangements.
