Mukti is the World’s First Pay-for-Performance programme designed to improve the nutritional status and treatment outcomes of TB patients. USAID drives this initiative as the outcome funder through PAHAL project. The programme has been done in technical collaboration with the Central TB Division and Government of Madhya Pradesh to address the issue of malnutrition which is attributable to 55% of the annual TB incident. USAID as the outcome funder through the PAHAL project, pays Rs.12,500 per patient, only if a TB patient completes treatment and demonstrates body weight gain as per clinically accepted standards (‘treatment success’ under the programme). Child Fund, as the risk investors and implementer, invests resources and efforts to achieve the mentioned outcomes, using a combination of four strategies.
