Rwanda
Ensuring that women and children receive quality health care is a key to alleviating poverty, but in many developing countries, access to appropriate medical care is limited. In recent years, policymakers and health experts have promoted the use of performance-based bonuses to motivate health-care workers to follow best practices and ensure that patients receive key medical services. As part of this, the international research community is working to measure when and how such pay-for-performance programs are most effective. To help build a body of evidence on how to encourage and support quality healthcare, the World Bank supported a study of government-run and faith-based health clinics in Rwanda. The 23-month evaluation, the first rigorous one of its kind in a low-income country, found that performance-based bonuses helped raise the quality and use of health services for women and children. This Evidence to Policy note was jointly produced by the World Bank Group, the Strategic Impact Evaluation Fund (SIEF), and the British governments Department for International Development.

Ensuring that women and children receive
quality health care is a key to alleviating poverty, but in
many developing countries, access to appropriate medical
care is limited. In recent years, policymakers and health
experts have promoted the use of performance-based bonuses
to motivate health-care workers to follow best practices and
ensure that patients receive key medical services. As part
of this, the international research community is working to
measure when and how such pay-for-performance programs are
most effective. To help build a body of evidence on how to
encourage and support quality healthcare, the World Bank
supported a study of government-run and faith-based health
clinics in Rwanda. The 23-month evaluation, the first
rigorous one of its kind in a low-income country, found that
performance-based bonuses helped raise the quality and use
of health services for women and children. This Evidence to
Policy note was jointly produced by the World Bank Group,
