EpiSurveyor for PBF verification
Located in Mozambique
EGPAF is implementing a performance-based financing (PBF) program to improve
health outcomes in Gaza and Nampula provinces. The PBF program is used to
decentralize resources and motivate healthcare providers to improve quality of
services. The facility healthcare workers are aware of the incentives offered and so
there is a need to verify the quality of the services provided and the data reported.
EpiSurveyor surveys via mobile phones collect data that verify the quality of services.
