  9. What is PBF? • “Performance-Based Financing is a health systems approach with an orientation on results defined as quantity and quality of service outputs. This approach entails making health facilities autonomous agencies that work for the benefit of health related goals and their staff. It is also characterized by multiple performance frameworks for the regulatory functions, the performance purchasing agency and community empowerment. Performance-Based Financing applies market forces but seeks to correct market failures to attain health gains. PBF at the same time aims at cost-containment and a sustainable mix of revenues from cost-recovery, government and international contributions. PBF is a flexible approach that continuously seeks to improve through empirical research and rigorous impact evaluations which lead to best practices.” FRITSCHE, G., SOETERS, S., Meessen, B., NDIZEYE, C (2011). ‘PBF toolkit “Checklist for Implementers”, The World Bank, Washington DC (under development)
