Abstract

Numerous developing countries, many with USAID support, are piloting and scaling-up PBI programs to improve health outcomes and make progress towards achieving the health Millennium Development Goals. This primer provides information for USAID missions on how to support a PBI program, be it through technical assistance to an existing program or directly funding a pilot or scaled-up national program. The primer starts with a quick overview of PBI as one solution to strengthen health systems and improve health service delivery and health outcomes, and also includes summaries of country experiences with PBI as well as sources for further information.
