Performance-Based Financing (PBF) - The Forest, Not the Tree!

This presentation conveys information on how PBF is much more than a provider payment mechanism. It offers an opportunity for wider reforms.

2. - for health outcomes / technical efficiency
3. - to more allocative efficiency
4. - a means to health equity
5. - to resource mobilisation for health
6. - to public sector reform.
