Taking Results Based Financing from scheme to system: a multi-country study

This blogpost introduces a multi-country research project looking at how at country level, Results Based Financing (RBF) schemes move from pilot to full integration into national health systems. The study is led by the Alliance for Health Systems and Policy Research and scientifically coordinated by the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) and will be carried out by national research teams of eleven countries.




Worldwide, more than 30 low or middle-income countries are today developing, within their health sector, experience with so-called RBF strategy. While a few of them have already moved to a full-fledged national policy, most of them are still in pilot stages. This large international movement is facilitated and boosted by a number of forces and positive synergies: political will, aid agencies’ leadership and financial resources, enthusiasm of experts, commitment of major stakeholders, pro-active knowledge management…

The main goal of every RBF scheme is to improve the performance of the health system (measured in terms of quality of the health service delivered, coverage rate…). The ultimate goal of every - successful - pilot scheme is to be scaled up. From a knowledge management perspective, though, a pilot scheme which failed to improve some target indicators is actually still a success if the operational lessons which have been drawn from the experience allowed stakeholders to improve the national health system. This is an outcome which matters for an RBF strategy, as many have argued that its transformative power is one of its key attributes. A key metric of the ‘success’ of an RBF experience should therefore be its ability, through the core principles it promotes, to reinvigorate the national health system. One can foresee transformations/scale up on many different dimensions.

Launch of a multi-country research project

The possible journey “from scheme to system” will be the main focus of a  multi-country research project coordinated by the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research and the Health Economics Unit of the Institute of Tropical Medicine. This research program is sponsored by NORAD, the Norwegian Aid Agency.

The call for proposals launched by the Alliance sparked quite some interest: 34 research teams submitted a proposal. Eleven countries have been selected – you can discover which ones by clicking here.(1) Selected research teams have been informed. The next step will be a protocol development workshop to which the principal investigators of the eleven countries will be invited. Together, we will explore the commonalities across the 11 cases and assess whether we can adopt a common framework and select a limited number of common research questions.

After approval of the protocols by ethical committees, each national research team will document how the journey from scheme to policy is going in their respective country (although among the 11 countries, we have also interesting stories of pilot schemes which did not materialize into national policies). While our sampled countries are mostly from sub-Saharan Africa (the most dynamic continent, as far RBF is concerned), we are happy to have also three experiences from outside Africa. In Africa, we will cover a nice mix of settings: a few post-conflict countries, some Francophone and Anglophone countries, a mix of small and big countries.

Our communication strategy

While the PBF Community of Practice is not formally involved in this research at this stage, we will make sure throughout this project to keep you informed about the progress being made. We are indeed very aware that moving from scheme to system is a challenge that some of you are already facing today. So you may learn from what we discover… but we also value the knowledge you will share with us. This interaction with you will take different forms, but our online forum and this blog will be major tools (do not hesitate, for instance, to contact us if you want to write a blogpost on the situation in your country or just share some reflections). We will also seize opportunities offered by face-to-face encounters to discuss on this topic with you (as we did already in Buenos Aires and as we will do again at the Cape Town symposium, in a satellite session co-organized with the World Bank).

This promises to be an exciting journey. We hope that you will be with us all the way long.

 
Note:
(1) We are very aware that some readers of this blog post are disappointed by the non-selection of their proposal. Proposals went through  a systematic appraisal system set up by the Alliance. Feel free to contact Mrs Maryam Bigdeli at the Alliance to know the reasons why your proposal has not been selected.

Hello, I am a researcher from India. I am very interested in this research project because India also has PBF for some health programs. Please can I get the full list of 30 countries with RBF schemes in the health sector with details of how it is applied? It will be immensely useful for India.

Hello, my name is Rachel Frye and I want to give this testimony in respect of Dr. Odunga who made me win $2 Million Dollars in Lottery by matching the 5 numbers for me. I am happy to be out of financial debt and be able to help my family in these seasonal period of fun and cheer. I contacted Dr. Odunga through Whats-App (+2348167159012) when I told him to help me win the Mega Millions and He told me that it would be spiritually checked if I will win the Lottery. When he informed me that I will not be able to win the Jackpot but I will win huge amount in the lottery I was not completely sad but had great faith in him. I live in Freeland, Saginaw County, Michigan and I would say it was pretty hard to send him the money for the spell before he gave me the winning numbers to play. He sent me the numbers and I played. The next morning after the drawing, I matched the five white balls in the Aug. 4 drawing to win $1 million: 11-30-45-52-56. Thanks to the Megaplier X2, my prize was multiplied to $2 million. Thank You Dr Odunga for this wonderful experience with you. You too can contact Dr. Odunga at his Whats-App +2348167159012 or Email: [email protected]
