The authors of this journal article evaluate results-based financing in the Republic of Congo from 2012-2014. Using a household survey and review of facility data, authors concluded that some improvements were seen in service quality. Overall, the study shows a favourable impact of an RBF programme on most, but not all, targeted maternal and child health services. However, impact varied on maternal and child health indicators during the time period. Authors suggest that strengthened programme implementation, such as timely disbursement of incentives, monitoring the performance of health facilities, and transparency of using funds, might improve impact.
