Training on Performance-Based Financing in Health and NGO Sectors
Course Overview
Performance-Based Financing (PBF) is a results-oriented approach that links funding to measurable outputs and outcomes, improving efficiency, accountability, and program effectiveness. Widely applied in health and development programs, PBF incentivizes high-quality service delivery, strengthens governance, and ensures resources are aligned with results.
This 5-day course equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills to design, implement, and monitor PBF programs. Training covers PBF contract structures, performance indicators, verification mechanisms, fund disbursement processes, and monitoring frameworks. Participants will examine real-world case studies from health and NGO programs to understand best practices, challenges, and strategies for maximizing impact.
Through hands-on exercises, scenario-based learning, and applied discussions, participants will gain the ability to develop results-oriented financing mechanisms, track performance effectively, and link financial incentives to measurable outcomes. By the end of the program, participants will be able to implement PBF approaches that enhance accountability, resource efficiency, and program success.
