Abstract: In response to the poor performance of its public health care provision, Burkina Faso decided, to implement results-based financing (RBF). This strategy relies on a strategic purchase of the quantity and quality of services provided by health workers, monitored by a set of indicators. However, there is a lack of evidence on its effects. The objective of this article is to appreciate the effect of RBF on a set of maternal and child health (MCH) indicators in Burkina Faso. The study design is quasi-experimental … Show more

“…Similarly, differences between our estimates and those produced by the primary IE [25] arise because the analysis we present in this paper relied on multiple data points and could therefore discern the impact of PBF before and after the introduction of the gratuité. This underlines that strong routine data collection systems are essential to enable the production of robust impact assessments to complement and, in the case of scarcity of resources, even replace IE based on costly primary data collection [13,14] We also identify remarkable differences if we compare our findings with those of the study by Zizien et al (2018) which is closest to ours. Also addressing the extended PBF pilot, the study detected a positive effect exclusively on the provision of PNC services.…”

“…Initial evidence using data from the routine health management information system indicates that the intervention had a significant positive impact on the number of postnatal consultations provided, but no impact on antenatal care consultations, completed vaccination cycles among children under the age of one, provision of modern family planning methods, and caesarian sections. 15 A comprehensive impact evaluation based on primary data and including aspects of health worker motivation 16 as well as aspects of quality of care is currently on-going.…”

“…Amongst the confusion, there seems also to be increasing links made between strategic purchasing and PBF—at least with regard to low‐ and middle‐income country (LMIC) contexts. In Burkina Faso, for example, when the PBF programme was deemed as underperforming 15 and local authorities expressed scepticism, the World Bank responded by recasting the programme as operating within a strategic purchasing framework. The issue, however, is that national implementers have reported that they do not clearly understand the difference between the two concepts.…”
