About this resource

This video puts the spotlight on rural Zambia, where the results-based financing program launched in April 2012. Early results show progress in health outcomes for babies and their mothers: increases in the utilization of reproductive health services; the number of deliveries by skilled personnel; the number of first ANC visits in RBF facilities; and in total family planning attendance.

In this video, you will hear the stories of health workers, Mary, a young mother and RBF service user, and about the “RBF culture” one doctor says is emerging in this southern African nation and having an impact beyond the RBF program.
