Abstract

The study findings revealed that the internal context of performance-based financing (PBF) implementation played a key role in the process of improving health system performance. High-performing primary healthcare facilities exercised leadership and commitment. These two characteristics were associated with taking initiatives to promote PBF implementation and strengthening team spirit. The PBF project in Mali discussed in this article was funded by the World Bank as part of a larger initiative towards improved reproductive health. With few exceptions, PBF was perceived as a complicated intervention to implement, partly because of data management procedures.
