Performance-based financing (PBF) approaches have expanded rapidly
in lower-and middle income countries, and especially in Africa. The
number of countries has grown from three in 2006 to 32 in 2013. PBF
schemes are flourishing and cause considerable demand for technical
assistance in executing these health reforms in a rational and
accountable manner.
Performance-based financing (PBF) approaches have expanded rapidly

schemes are flourishing and cause considerable demand for technical
assistance in executing these health reforms in a rational and
accountable manner.
Currently there is a lack of knowledge among many health reformers
of how to implement performance-based financing pilot projects, and
scale them up intelligently. In a context of tremendous demand for
solid design and implementation experience and given the rapid
expansion of results-based financing (RBF) programs, there is an
urgent need to build capacity in designing and implementing PBF
programs. As yet there has been little attempt to gather the
learning from these experiences together in one volume and,
moreover, in a form that serves as a guide to implementers. This
toolkit answers the most pressing issues related to the supply-side
RBF programs of which PBF forms part.
