In the USA, Catholic Social Teaching is commonly called “the church’s best keptsecret”. And, indeed, did the church’s Social Teaching on the other side of the Atlantic never enjoy the political and societal importance attributed to it in many European countries for such a long time including..., and above all, Germany. Entire generations of Catholic politicians, social scientists, trade unionists andentrepreneurs were shaped by the Social Teachings of their Church in thesecountries, and this moulding has influenced their way of acting to a great extent. This influence can be clearly traced in the socio-economic realm where Catholic SocialTeaching has contributed fundamentally to the rise of what we today – in a cleardividing line to the boundless capitalism of the Anglo-American brand – call theSocial Market Economy.

Ces projets de programme prototype (curriculum) de niveau régional destinés à l’enseignement et à la formation des
infi rmiers et des sages-femmes sont en partie une étape vers la création d’un moyen de mise en œuvre des résolutions
prises par l’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé (AMS)... (la plus récente étant WHA 64.7, 2011) à intérêt régional et des
orientations stratégiques mondiales et régionales visant à renforcer la contribution des infi rmiers et des sages-femmes
dans le développement des systèmes de santé. Ces cursus sont également compatibles avec la « Feuille de route pour la
mise à l’échelle des ressources humaines pour la santé (RHS) en vue d’améliorer la dispense des services de santé dans
la région Afrique 2012-2025 » adoptée lors de la 62e session du Comité régional des ministres africains de la santé en
2012. L’un des six domaines stratégiques fi gurant sur la feuille de route est la mise à l’échelle de l’enseignement et de la
formation des travailleurs de la santé.

Paying for performance (P4P) provides financial incentives for providers to increase the use and quality of care. P4P can affect health care by providing incentives for providers to put more effort into specific activities, and by increasing the amount of resources available to finance the delivery ...of services. This paper evaluates the impact of P4P on the use and quality of prenatal, institutional delivery, and child preventive care using data produced from a prospective quasi-experimental evaluation nested into the national rollout of P4P in Rwanda. Treatment facilities were enrolled in the P4P scheme in 2006 and comparison facilities were enrolled two years later. The incentive effect is isolated from the resource effect by increasing comparison facilities’ input-based budgets by the average P4P payments to the treatment facilities. The data were collected from 166 facilities and a random sample of 2158 households. P4P had a large and significant positive impact on institutional deliveries and preventive care visits by young children, and improved quality of prenatal care. The authors find no effect on the number of prenatal care visits or on immunization rates. P4P had the greatest effect on those services that had the highest payment rates and needed the lowest provider effort. P4P financial performance incentives can improve both the use of and the quality of health services. Because the analysis isolates the incentive effect from the resource effect in P4P, the results indicate that an equal amount of financial resources without the incentives would not have achieved the same gain in outcomes.
