Motivation
In 2002, the health system was in a very poor condition
• Limited capacity in the Ministry of Public Health
• 80% of services provided by NGOs
• Lack of coordination among stakeholders
• Inequitable distribution of health services, with many rural
areas extremely under-served
• Few functioning health facilities
2
Motivation…
Reflected in health indicators that were among worst in
the world
• Life expectancy: women 45 years and men 47 years
• Under-five child mortality: 257 deaths per 1,000 live births
• Maternal mortality ratio: 1600 per 100,000 live births
3
• Focus on stewardship functions o Define the package of services: BPHS and EPHS
o Define the beneficiaries: service areas defined for each provider
o Define the standard of services: inputs requirements for BPHS and EPHS defined
• Partner with the private sector o that has been serving 80% during the conflict
• Use its purchasing power effectively to register results
• The approach is largely along the lines of current thinking on service delivery in fragile states (e.g. Collier)

Coverage of important services remains low by
global standards e.g.
o CPR 15%,
o ANC 36%
o SBA 24 %
Additional effort to increase coverage needed
Results-Based Financing (RBF)
• Since 2010:
o 14 provinces: gradually scaled up
o Primary care and hospitals
• RBF means:
o Payment for additional services
o Payments for improved quality
o Payments for serving the poor
• Rigorously assessed with a gold standard IE design
