Performance-based financing: just a donor fad or a catalyst towards comprehensive health-care reform? [1]

Additional image:: 

Performance-based financing is generating a heated debate. Some suggest that it may be a donor fad with limited potential to improve service delivery. Most of its critics view it solely as a provider payment mechanism. Our experience is that performance-based financing can catalyse comprehensive reforms and help address structural problems of public health services, such as low responsiveness, inefficiency and inequity. The emergence of a performance-based financing movement in Africa suggests that it may
contribute to profoundly transforming the public sectors of low-income countries.
