Research paper published on Payment by results (PbR) and equity in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programming

Recent research we co-authored has been published in the International Journal for Equity in Health, on the effects of using payment by results (PbR) by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to promote equitable contraceptive use. The study assessed the PbR model used by the multi-country Women's Integrated Sexual Health Programme (WISH) implemented by consortia led by Marie Stopes International (MSI) and the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). The study focused on Pakistan, Ethiopia and Senegal through a series of case studies.

Our Services

  • Monitoring & Results measurement

    We support programmes to develop and deliver improved monitoring and results measurement (MRM) systems. This includes the design of payment by results (PbR) / results based financing (RBF) approaches, and development of MRM/M&E and value for money (VfM) frameworks.

  • Evaluation & Impact appraisal

    At the heart of our work is design and implementation of high quality and rigorous evaluations, using quantitative and qualitative methods. We support programmes to measure and understand impact, across a range of sectors in international development.

  • Learning & Adaptation

    The ultimate goal of research should be to improve and learn, influence policy, and adapt projects and programmes to maximise effectiveness, value for money, and impact. We provide the rigour to achieve this, and support design, strategy & implementation of development programming.
