Aim of the Project
Performance Based Financing (PBF) differs from classical health financing which relies on input financing for its activities that are not linked to any results produced by the health facility. In a supply side PBF health system strengthening approach, the financing of the health facility is linked with its performance. PBF creates a strong motivator for actors to perform better, improve their HMIS and provide quality services. Cordaid has long been a pioneer in the implementation of Performance Based Financing (PBF) in the health sector. Cordaid has been implementing PBF in Ethiopia since 2015 in Borana and since 2019 in Jimma. Cordaid will now partner with Ministry of Health to further pilot the new design of PBF through an anticipated up-coming PBF project in the three (3) regions selected by Ministry of health.
