The World Bank’s Health, Nutrition and Population (HNP) Program will on Tuesday September 14th, present a glossary publication on various acronyms associated with Results-Based Financing (RBF) as a general term used to describe different health finance incentives and payment arrangements. Although often labeled differently, Results-Based Financing (RBF) presents the same concept of increasing the quantity and quality of health services using an output instead of input based approach. It combines the use of incentives for health-related behaviors with a strong focus on results, and can support efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Author Philip Musgrove and other panelists from the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank and the Global Partnership on Output Based Aid will explain the concepts and significant distinctions among the various types of RBF programs.
The two-hour session kicks off at noon at the World Bank 1 Building in Washington DC.
Reservations are required.
