The baseline survey on impact evaluation for Health Performance-Based Financing (PBF) in Burkina Faso was conducted in six regions of Burkina Faso from October 2013 to March 2014. The main objective of the impact evaluation is to assess the impact of the PBF intervention on quality of care and health care utilization for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health services, while the baseline survey provides the empirical foundation for the assessment of impacts on a large variety of indicators. The endline wave of the impact evaluation is planned from March - June 2017.
Data collection for the baseline survey included a household survey and a facility-based survey. The baseline household survey is documented here. The household survey included information on 6,224 households in five regions (non-randomized region Centre-Ouest was excluded from the analysis). Data on household socioeconomic status, health behavior and health outcomes was collected using CAPI household questionnaires.
