We conducted a semi-systematic review on payments by results (PbR) in international development with a focus on synthesising the health evidence. The objective of this review was to draw out lessons learnt about what works for the implementation and impact of PbR mechanisms in developing country government and non-DFID donor/NGO-led programmes.
