Rwanda Health CenterRBF/Performance-Based Financing (PBF)
1. Supply Side Intervention
2. Demand-side phenomena
3. Targeting Health Facilities that are made more autonomous
4. Regular, significant incentives reach front line health workers
5. District Support Functions incentivized (monitoring volume and quality: internal controls)
6. District PBF Steering Committee incentivized
7. Central MOH PBF-support department incentivized

Context
Barrier to Access Services leading to low utilization 0.3/c/yr: Very poor population: one third of the population lives on less
than $0.25 per day and 57% of the population lives on less than $0.45 per day
Poor Health Indicators (2005): MMR 750/100,000; U-5 Mortality Rate 152/1,000 and U-1 Mortality Rate 82/1,000
Inefficient Utilization of Existing Services: a study in Gicumbi (2005) documented less than 2 services/nurse per hour leading to an uptake of 0.8 services/capita/yr (curative and preventive combined)

Challenges to Scaling Up
1. Solution to Data Collection and Validation Web application
2. Coordination challenges TWG and ET mechanisms
3. Technical Assistance to the Central MOH and the Decentralized Authorities TWG ET mechanism District PBF Steering Committees
4. Credible Performance Results Use decentralized authorities (Min Local Admin; MOH) with strong TA
support initially for internal control (ex ante) Use NGOs as part of quorum in Decentralized District Level PBF
Steering Committee, and for transparency (ex ante) Use performance frameworks at all levels (Health Facility; Steering
Committee; District Hospital; Central MOH) Mix of third-party and transparent external verification mechanisms
(ex post)

Hogwood and Gunn’s “Perfect Implementation Model”Perfect Implementation Model’, in Hogwood, B., Gunn, I., (1984) ‘Policy analysis for the real world’, Oxford University Press
1. The circumstances external to the implementing agency do not impose crippling constraints;
2. That adequate time and sufficient resources are made available to the program;
3. That the required combination of resources is actually available;
4. That the policy to be implemented is based on a valid theory of cause and effect;
5. That the relationship between cause and effect is direct and that there are few if any intervening links;

…Ten Preconditions for a Successful Top Down Implementation
6. That dependency relationship is minimal;
7. That there is understanding of, and agreement on objectives;
8. That tasks are fully specified in correct sequence;
9. That there is perfect communication and co-ordination, and
10. Those in authority can demand and obtain perfect compliance.
