Design of an Impact Evaluation Using a Mixed Methods Model : An Explanatory Assessment of the Effects of Results-Based Financing Mechanisms on Maternal Healthcare Services in Malawi

In this article we present a study design to evaluate the causal impact of providing supply-side performance-based financing incentives in combination with a demand-side cash transfer component on equitable access to and quality of maternal and neonatal healthcare services. This intervention is intr...
