Article: EU asks Cordaid to scale up RBF in Central African Health System

“Better infrastructure, better staff, better drug supply. This, in a nutshell, is what Cordaid’s results-based financing (RBF) approach brings to health centers in the Central-African Republic”, says Dr Peter Bob Peerenboom, tropical doctor and independent RBF expert. As a result, the EU has asked Cordaid to help scale up RBF in the country’s health system.

One of Cordaid’s health system strengthening programs in the Central African Republic is financed by the Bêkou Fund, the European Union’s trust fund for the Central African Republic. It supports 53 primary health care facilities in three of the country’s most impoverished districts, improving basic health services for more than 300.000 people.

Cordaid program manager Beatrice Looijenga: “This program does more than support health facilities through results-based financing (RBF). It also trains sorely needed health staff. It’s part of Cordaid’s wider RBF health program in the CAR, which supports some 300 health centers throughout the country.”
