This Note examines an innovative,
donor-supported voucher scheme to treat and prevent sexually
transmitted diseases in Nicaragua. Voucher schemes enable
donors to purchase outputs rather than inputs while also
offering beneficiaries a choice of provider, a feature that
sets them apart from other output-based approaches, such as
supply-side subsidies to providers operating under
performance-based contracts. Choice creates incentives to
lower prices or raise quality (or both).
