Abstract

Objective: A performance-based financing (PBF) program was implemented for services for HIV, prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and maternal/child health (MCH) in two provinces of Mozambique. This study investigates the determinants of policy scale-up to help accelerate the expansion of PBF in Mozambique and globally from pilot projects to national policies.
