Table 7 Comparison of high- and low-performing CSCOMs by CFIR domains and constructs

From: Implementing performance-based financing in peripheral health centres in Mali: what can we learn from it?

Domain

CFIR construct

High-performing CSCOMs

Low-performing CSCOMs

Internal context

Implementation climate:

Perception that the CSCOMs had prepared well for PBF implementation

Staff of some CSCOMs reported that the conditions required to start the PBF were not met due to lack of equipment and infrastructure

- Tension around change

Implementation climate:

Objectives set out in the contract were, in many cases, discussed before being ratified

The objectives were hardly discussed with the rest of the staff

Results plans were seldom shared with the rest of the staff

- Objectives and feedback

Briefing sessions were used to communicate the objectives in the results plans

Implementation climate:

- A learning environment

Awareness of being a single team in which each member is personally responsible for the outcomes

Stronger collective commitment

 
 

Readiness for implementation:

TDCs explained the data on the importance of PBF to the rest of the staff to motivate them

Weak leadership of TDCs; often conflictual interactions with the ASACO

- Leadership engagement

Process

Engaging

Many awareness-raising activities conducted by a team consisting of the TDC, the commune mayor and the ASACO chairman

TDCs led most of the awareness-raising sessions on their own
