Early Evidence from Operations and Impact Evaluations: The Case of Community RBF & the Case of the Quality of Care
Synopsis
To date, the Health Results Financing Trust Fund (HRITF) portfolio of RBF projects at the World Bank has committed $396 million for 36 RBF programs in 30 countries, linked to $2.2 billion in financing from IDA—the World Bank’s fund for the poorest—specifically to accelerate progress on MDGs 1c (nutrition), 4 (child mortality), and 5 (maternal health).
Learning is a critical part of the HRITF RBF portfolio, with all programs benefiting from an embedded impact evaluation; and in some cases, complemented by qualitative research components such as process evaluation studies. Further, RBF programs collect and use operational data to provide information on the coverage, quality and equity of service delivery, with the added advantage that data are available in real time. This enables front line managers to assess program results and improve program implementation, making course corrections where required. In addition, a range of impact evaluations and qualitative learning help test hypothesis and aid understanding of the complex web of interactions needed to produce results. As the use of RBF mechanisms evolves, this interactive session looks at the impact of shifting health system focus from inputs to results and, specifically:
Using RBF to help improve quality of care; and
Using RBF at the community-level to address demand side barriers.
This half-day satellite session explores the global experience with RBF through the lens of HSR2016 sub-theme: Implementing improvement and innovation in health services and systems.
