Contracting for Delivering Health
Substantial improvement in the delivery of health services will be necessary to achieve the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). A review of developing country experience with contracting for health service delivery was undertaken to examine its effectiveness, determine the extent to which the posited difficulties actually occur in practice, and make recommendations regarding future efforts in contracting. The focus of the review was instances in developing countries of governments contracting with non-state providers (NSPs) to deliver primary health care services including nutrition (but excluding hospital care or ancillary services such as drug procurement and distribution). Based on the success thus far, health services' contracting should be significantly expanded in developing countries as a way of helping achieve the MDGs, and increasing accountability. While the evidence for contracting is reasonably good, future efforts should still include rigorous evaluations to obtain more robust estimates of the effects under various conditions and address unresolved issues, such as the effectiveness of performance bonuses, and means for improving contract management.

| description |
Substantial improvement in the delivery
of health services will be necessary to achieve the
health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). A review
of developing country experience with contracting for health
service delivery was undertaken to examine its
effectiveness, determine the extent to which the posited
difficulties actually occur in practice, and make
recommendations regarding future efforts in contracting. The
focus of the review was instances in developing countries of
governments contracting with non-state providers (NSPs) to
deliver primary health care services including nutrition
(but excluding hospital care or ancillary services such as
drug procurement and distribution). Based on the success
thus far, health services' contracting should be
significantly expanded in developing countries as a way of
helping achieve the MDGs, and increasing accountability.
While the evidence for contracting is reasonably good,
future efforts should still include rigorous evaluations to
obtain more robust estimates of the effects under various
conditions and address unresolved issues, such as the
effectiveness of performance bonuses, and means for
improving contract management. |
