With support from the World Bank, the Global Financing Facility, and the Government of Japan, Kenya is implementing the Transforming Health Systems for Universal Care Project (THS-UCP) to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) outcomes in the country. THS-UCP is led by the Ministry of Health (MOH), with support from the Council of Governors (COG). One hundred and thirty million of the US$ 191.1 million project is structured as performance-based financing to Kenya’s 47 counties, which are responsible for implementing project-funded activities. ThinkWell developed this brief to provide an overview of the performance-based financing component of THS-UCP with inputs from MOH and key stakeholders.
