| description |
This paper presents the results of a
randomized controlled trial set to evaluate the effects of a
pay-for-performance scheme that rewarded community health
worker cooperatives for the utilization of five targeted
maternal and child health services by their communities. The
experiment took place in 19 districts in Rwanda between 2010
and 2014. The analysis finds no impact of the performance
payments on coverage of the targeted services, attitudes and
behaviors of community health workers, or outcomes at the
cooperative level. No synergies are found between the scheme
and a demand-side, in-kind transfer intervention that was
independently effective in increasing coverage rates of
targeted services. |
