  1. “Cash on Delivery” to Improve MCH: Is it Feasible Mead OverCenter for Global Development Pay-for-Performance and Performance-Based Aid: at the Crossroads? International Workshop organized by the "Incentives for Health Provider Performance Network" UNIVERSITY OF AUVERGNE- CERDI CLERMONT-FERRAND – FRANCE May 11, 2011

  3. Key Features of COD Aid • Rewards improvements in outcomes • Hands-off • Independent verification • Transparency • Complementarity with other aid programs Source: Birdsall&Savedoff (2010) http://www.cgdev.org/section/initiatives/_active/codaid

  4. Basic steps of COD Aid • Two parties (donor and recipient) negotiate a 2 to 4 year contract specifying that donor will pay $X per HIV infection averted • Survey agency collects and reports HIV prevalence data using mutually agreed measurement methods • Donor commissions independent audit of measured output • Donor pays recipient according to achievement of previously negotiated output performance goals • E.g. $X per HIV infections averted • Government can spend money on ANYTHING (roads, football fields?) • Operational or impact evaluation research is strongly encouraged Source: Birdsall&Savedoff (2010) http://www.cgdev.org/section/initiatives/_active/codaid

  5.

  8. 2. National Birth Regency(Piloted in the same district or region as the preganancy registration)

  9. 3. Survey of Previously Registered Pregnant Women
