Thinking Strategically About Monitoring Health Results-Based Financing (RBF) Schemes: Core Questions and Other

The focus of this paper is the continuous monitoring and documentation of RBF scheme implementation and the outputs produced. A forthcoming paper will discuss evaluation and the prospects and challenges of measuring key population- and facility-based outcomes (such as improvements in coverage with high impact interventions, quality of care, and health promoting behavior change)and long-term results (such as infant, child, and maternal mortality reduction).
