Performance incentives are being designed and implemented in many countries in Africa to reduce maternal and child mortality and improve health. The road that leads from concept to implementation is a long, windy and bumpy one. Please join Health Systems 20/20 to hear about how this journey has begun in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique and Senegal. Performance-based Incentive initiatives (PBI) transfer money or material goods to either providers or recipients of health services if they take actions to improve health or increase utilization or quality of health services. In recent years, PBIs have gained increased international attention. Join us at the Global Health Council for a discussion about how this journey is evolving in Africa.
