MoH is implementing PBF in one district with a plan to roll-out to nine
districts
CHAZ is the other major PBF implementer in Zambia with a pilot in
two districts
The two PBF interventions though similar are variant in 3 respects:
emphasis on quality, split of responsibility and community voice
PBF activities in particular are managed through the national PBF
steering committee which is part of the TWG_HCF
CHAZ is part of both the TWG-HCF and the PBF steering committee
- took part in the design of the RBF project model
“He sent them to preach the Kingdom of God and heal the sick” Luke 9:2
PBF project Design process
• CHAZ took part is the design process of the PBF roll out project plan
where the PBF model was finalized
• CHAZ project design influenced the PBF focus to incorporate:
community voice strengthening (community perspective ), split of
responsibility, and quality assessment
• The two projects shared notes and experiences on the various project
aspects to identify the best PBF intervention/approach
• MoH accessing the WB and CHAZ project interventions to inform the
future PBF roll plan
• CHAZ capacity building plans also considers those from the WB funded
participants for project synergy
