Cordaid began demonstrating Performance Based Financing in the dry and pastoralist Borana zone of the Oromia region in Ethiopia on May 1, 2015. Initially in 4 Borana districts with 9 health facilities, and then it began to expand to 8 Borana districts with a total of 25 health facilities on July 2018. Halfway through 2018, Cordaid was invited by the Netherlands Embassy to develop a four-year proposal and budget for expanding PBF in Jimma’s rural coffee growing zone. On the 1st of April 2019, the Embassy approved the four-year project plan. The project was established and personnel were recruited and trained throughout the first six months. The health facilities were contracted under PBF for the first quarter, which ran from October to December 2019.
