Against this backdrop, the importance of this project lies in its implementation strategy, which revolves around two main areas—results-based financing (RBF) and monitoring and evaluation capacity building. The first area, linked to RBF, focuses on the conclusion of performance-based contracts between a performance purchasing agency (representing the interests of the health department) and public health facilities and faith-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in rural areas. The payments made to these health entities will be tied to the volume and quality of the services provided to the target populations. The payment system will enhance the capacity to provide health services in the rural areas, with performance bonuses provided to health facilities. A portion will be used to keep these facilities operational and the other will be given directly to health workers in remote areas that have fewer resources.
