P4P Evaluation • Evaluation was done in the 3 dioceses • Revealed both positive and negative outcomes • Recommended the involvement of a local stakeholder (CHAZ) in project management • Extensive involvement of the stakeholders in health • Identified a need for a pilot on proper PBF interventions • Use of a more contextualized approach in the design process “He sent them to preach the Kingdom of God and heal the sick” Luke 9:2
The CHAZ PBF Pilot Project • 2 districts selected for PBF piloting • Selection based on a set criteria • EU Funded PBF is a multi country project, • Pilot implemented in 3 years from Jan 2010 – Dec 2012
Implementation strategies Seven core strategies will be employed to implement the project: • Actual (co-)financing of (health) services based on past performance, through the conclusion of service agreements for church health institutions • Capacity building • Exchange visits and peer review • Action research • Site visits for monitoring purposes • Consultation at national, district and community level • Documentation and dissemination
CHAZ INVOLVEMENT • Following the recommendation for CHAZ involvement in P4P • In July 2009 CHAZ studied the P4P situation and sensitized the stakeholders on PBF development • Advocacy for PBF to all stakeholders • Developed institutional framework (WB, UNZA, MoH, DHMT) • Shared PBF strategies with the TWG-MoH • TWG accepted the CHAZ PBF strategy • Selected districts shared with MoH
Pilot District Selection Criteria • Rural district • Church presence (in view of Govt/FBO collaboration), in particular: the number of hospitals and h/centres and share of churches’ catchment population as a % of total district population • P4P history (with Cordaid) • Not an RBF district (intervention or control district) in the WB supported project • Workload in terms of staff/contact ratio: preferably average (neither high nor low) • Disease burden: child malnutrition (% underweight), pneumonia, % institutional deliveries • Catchment population served by church health institutions: ideally not more than 100,000.
CHAZ /PBF Implementation Structure The project emphasizes on split of responsibility • Fundholder Agency - CHAZ • Regulator – quality standards - DHMT • Local Purchasing Agency – responsible for contracting - ZSIC • Local Verifier Organisation– client satisfaction surveys • Health facilities – DOPE and DAPP • Community organizations/committees – NHC, HCC, HAC
Verification procedure Quality • Done by local quality experts with performance contracts • Follow agreed upon quality standards • Give a score expressed in percentage • Quality will determine the absolute score (rewards =Quality*quantity*performance index) Quantity/data verification • Conducted by the LPA - ZSIC • Produces provisional invoices based on data results Client Tracer surveys • Conducted by a locally based NGO – contracted • Results inform the next quarter business plans for the facility • In future, survey results will determine Invoices • Are consolidated by the PBF district steering committee
Where are we? • Project design finalized • Actual implementation commenced in July, 2010 • Baseline survey conducted • Desk review on existing levels of performance contracting in CHAZ • Performance verification for quarter three (2010) conducted • Project implementation manual • Capacity building activities for policy makers and implementers • Collaboration with other stakeholders - Trainers, LPA, Local verifier organizations • Shared experiences with stakeholders in the country
Sustainability plan for the CHAZ PBF scheme: • Involvement of other critical stakeholders (Local purchaser, Community organisations, MoH, UNZA) • Member of the TWG-HCF and the PBF national steering committee • Transparency about PBF-funding / Inequity • Intergrated planning and reporting for PBF • Community involvement – possible gradual intriduction of pre-financing schemes • Gradual intergration of PBF into the routine CHAZ program management “He sent them to preach the Kingdom of God and heal the sick” Luke 9:2
