Stunted scale-up of a performance-based financing program on HIV and maternal-child health services in Mozambique - a policy analysis.

CONCLUSION: There was a generalised ambivalence and lack of incentive to scale-up PBF from the implementing NGO. Coupled with the lack of evidence of a positive effect, and of cost-effectiveness in comparison with other models to improve health service delivery and health system strengthening, it is difficult to argue for the need to scale up the PBF programme studied. Care needs to be taken to base the adoption of health policies, including PBF, on a situational analysis and on evidence of intervention effectiveness, cost-benefits and contextual fit.
