Abstract: The significant reduction in the level of child mortality in both developed and developing countries over recent decades has led to an improvement in children’s health.

This study investigated factors that have contributed to the recent improvement in the survival of children under five, focusing on the contribution of preventive health care in improving children's survival rates in Burkina Faso. The data used come from baseline and end-line surveys designed to evaluate the impact of performance-based financing (PBF) on health programs in Burkina Faso.
