Making a commitment in advance to buy vaccines if and when they
are developed would create incentives for industry to increase
investment in research and development. New commercial investment
would complement funding of research and development by public and
charitable bodies, accelerating the development of vital new
vaccines for the developing world. This report presents the
proposal from theory to practice, by showing how a commitment can
be consistent with ordinary legal and budgetary principles. By
creating arrangements that devote the same scientific effort to
diseases of the poor as we put into diseases of the rich, we can
make a lasting contribution to the defeat of poverty.

This volume demonstrates how incentives can improve the delivery
and use of health services in low- and middle-income countries. The
authors describe the rationale for introducing incentives tied to
achievement of specific health-related targets, and they provide
clear guidance about designing, implementing, and evaluating
programs that provide incentives to health care providers and
patients. A set of case studies focuses on recent uses of
incentives addressing a range of health conditions in diverse
countries. In particular, these studies emphasize how explicit
incentives can be used to strengthen weak health systems.
The book will be of use to policymakers and program managers in
both developing countries and the donor community interested in
improving health outcomes through the strategic use of
performance-based incentives.
