Abstract

The idea of applying a Cash on Delivery Aid (COD Aid) approach to the health sector has been raised many times, particularly in relation to addressing malaria, HIV/AIDS, maternal health, and water. After assessing the challenges of applying COD Aid in the health sector, this paper considers 10 indicators related to reducing child mortality, maternal mortality, and infections of malaria and HIV/AIDS. It provides guidance to those interested in designing COD Aid approaches to improve health outcomes in developing countries.
