Abstract
Background
This paper aims to bring together the global evidence on paying providers for performance (P4P), its
impact on the delivery of sexual and reproductive health services, and the conditions under which it
may have been effective. It is based on a literature review carried out in November-December 2011,
with some updating in 2013. It synthesises evidence from policies and projects which have been
documented and published to date. The sources include the few available published impact
evaluations as well as the more extensive internal reports focussing on early implementation
experiences. It focuses on supply-side measures, and complements a recent report on demand-side
financing for SHR services in low and middle-income countries.
