It aims to deepen the understanding of how the institutional environment for local governance interacts with CDD project operations. It gives special emphasis on the issue of accountability, analyzing how CDD operations perform in terms of strengthening the capacity of citizens and civil society to hold local authorities and public service providers accountable, and the capacity of the local government to be held accountable. The study utilizes a two-pronged approach. First, it assesses the institutional environment for accountability in local governance. Second, it examines the operations of two major World Bank-assisted CDD projects in two municipal case study sites. Given that CDD projects both shape and are shaped by local governance contexts in which they are embedded, the study investigates how CDD operations in the Philippines are affected by and are helping reform local governance conditions. It is from the analysis of this interface between CDD operations and local governance conditions that the study aims to generate policy and operational recommendations to enhance integration between CDD and local governance approaches. The analysis of the institutional environment for accountability in local governance often found an enabling policy and legal framework in principle, but severely limiting constraints in practice.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENTSADMINISTRATIVE AUTONOMYADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITYADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLSADMINISTRATIVE SKILLSADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMASSETSASSIGNMENT OF TAXESAUDITORSAUTHORITARIANISMAUTHORITYBASIC SERVICESBIDDINGBRIBERYBUDGET CONSTRAINTSBUDGET HEARINGSBUREAUCRACYBUREAUCRATIC INTERVENTIONCENTRAL AGENCIESCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCENTRAL TRANSFERSCITIESCITIZENCITIZEN OVERSIGHTCITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCITIZENSCIVIL LIBERTIESCIVIL SERVANTSCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY EMPOWERMENTCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCIVIL SOCIETY REPRESENTATIONCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMMUNITY DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY LEADERSCOMMUNITY MEMBERSCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCOMPLAINTSCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCONGRESSMANCONGRESSMENCONSTITUENCIESCONSTITUTIONCONSTITUTIONAL CHANGECORRUPTIONCOUNCILSDECENTRALIZATION FRAMEWORKDECENTRALIZATION PROCESSDECISION-MAKINGDECREESDEMOCRACYDEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONSDEVOLUTIONDISCLOSUREDISCRETIONDISCRETIONARY POWERSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEFFECTIVE PARTICIPATIONELECTED OFFICIALSELECTORAL COMPETITIONELECTORAL POLITICSELECTORAL SYSTEMEMPLOYMENTENACTMENTENVIRONMENTSETHICAL STANDARDSEXECUTIONEXECUTIVE POWEREXECUTIVE PRIVILEGEEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURE ASSIGNMENTSEXPENDITURESFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INTERESTSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL CONDITIONSFISCAL DECENTRALIZATIONFISCAL RESOURCESFREEDOM OF INFORMATIONGOVERNANCE PROCESSESGOVERNANCE REFORMSGOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITYGOVERNMENT ACTIONGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT INFORMATIONGOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONSGOVERNMENT LEVELSGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT PERFORMANCEGOVERNMENT REVENUEGOVERNMENT SPENDINGHOUSINGHUMAN CAPACITYHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTHUMAN RESOURCESIMPEACHMENTINCOMEINITIATIVEINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTSINSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENTINSTITUTIONALIZATIONINSURGENCYINTERGOVERNMENTAL FISCAL RELATIONSINTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERSINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINVESTIGATIONJAILLACK OF CLARITYLACK OF TRANSPARENCYLAWSLEADERSHIPLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL PROVISIONSLEGISLATIONLEGISLATIVE BODIESLEGISLATIVE COUNCILLEGISLATORSLEGISLATURELEGITIMACYLEVELS OF GOVERNMENTLOBBYINGLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURESLOCAL GOVERNANCELOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENT REVENUELOCAL GOVERNMENT SPENDINGLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL INSTITUTIONSLOCAL LEVELSLOCAL POLITICIANSLOCAL TAXMANDATESMEDIAMISCONDUCT IN OFFICEMUNICIPALMUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENTMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTMUNICIPALITIESMUNICIPALITYNATIONAL INCOMENATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL OFFICESNATIONSNET WORTHOPPOSITION PARTIESOVERHEAD COSTSPARTICIPATORY PLANNINGPARTIES IN POWERPATRONAGEPOLICEPOLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITYPOLITICAL COMPETITIONPOLITICAL DIMENSIONSPOLITICAL DYNAMICSPOLITICAL ELITESPOLITICAL INTERFERENCEPOLITICAL LEADERSPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICAL POWERPOLITICAL STABILITYPOLITICAL SYSTEMPOLITICIANSPORK BARRELPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPRODUCTIVITYPUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITYPUBLIC AGENCIESPUBLIC ENTERPRISESPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR PERFORMANCEPUBLIC SERVICEREFERENDUMREPRESENTATIVESRESOURCE GENERATIONREVENUE COLLECTIONRULE OF LAWSANCTIONSSECTORAL POLICIESSEPARATION OF POWERSSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL CONDITIONSSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL WELFARESTATE POWERSTATE RESOURCESTAX ADMINISTRATIONTAX COLLECTIONSTAX RATETAX RATESTAX REVENUESTAXATIONTRANSPARENCYVESTED INTERESTSWorld Bank10.1596/13054
