Clinical Trial Summary

The World Bank and the government of Nigeria are implementing a results-based financing (RBF) project for the states of Nasarawa, Adamawa, and Ondo. This project provides incentives for improving performance at critical levels within the Nigerian health system and aims to address some of these challenges. The primary goal of the impact evaluation of this project is to determine if providing financial incentives linked directly to performance increases the quantity and quality of maternal and child health (MCH) services.

In each of the three selected States,the project finances the following interventions:

1. Performance incentives to State Government and Local Government (LGA) agencies that are triggered by Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) that reflect strengthened supervision and enhanced operational support for improving health systems performance. These performance incentives would be paid out on an annual basis.

2. In half of the LGAs in each state, one facility per ward will receive Performance-Based Financing (PBF) wherein payments are made directly to individual health facilities based on the quantity and quality of a set of pre-defined services provided by each facility. These performance incentives would be paid out on a quarterly basis.

3. In the other half of the LGAs in each state one facility per ward will receive Decentralized Facility Financing (DFF) or equivalent financing that is not be linked to any service delivery targets. These payments would be made on a quarterly basis.

The evaluation of the PBF arm, which consists of making payments to health facilities conditional on performance, but within an environment of comparable levels of overall financing, will rely on experimental assignment. The effect of the PBF intervention will be identified by comparing outcomes in the LGAs receiving PBF versus those receiving DFF in the three project states. In each of these three States, the LGAs will be randomly assigned to either the PBF package or to the DFF package.
