Volume one is a cross-sectoral report, the core report. The first part includes the program and performance overview which describes the programs (including their poverty goals) and their process of decentralization, the overview of expenditures, the access of the poor to these services, and the evidence on the quality of services. The second part of the core report is on the institutional dimensions of decentralized service delivery which includes the World Development Report (WDR) 2004-type framework of accountability, adapted to the situation in Mexico. Volume two contains the sectoral pieces. For this report-the third phase of a programmatic series of studies on poverty in Mexico-Mexico's social cabinet requested that the Bank analyze service delivery of a specific list of programs that are essential to the government's development strategy in the context of decentralization. The elements of the government's strategy considered here-basic education, health care for the population without social security coverage, local social infrastructure, and local rural development-all aim directly or indirectly to reduce poverty. Both social and economic services shape the opportunities of poor people. Social services contribute to human capital formation and risk management, while economic services shape access to markets. The analysis presented in this report does not pretend to be exhaustive of decentralized service delivery for the poor. Important areas for future research include the following: (i) analysis of the compliance of the law or of the detail regulations in programs; (ii) systematic comparisons of state interventions in the sectors analyzed in this report; (iii) analysis of the implications and requirements to implement per capita funding in health and education, and freedom to choose providers; and (iv) systematic compilation of information at the state and municipal level on the performance of the programs.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY FOR RESULTSACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSACCOUNTABILITY RELATIONSHIPACCOUNTABILITY RELATIONSHIPSACCOUNTINGADULT EDUCATIONAGGREGATE FISCALAGRARIAN REFORMALLOCATIONALLOCATION OF RESOURCESBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC INFRASTRUCTUREBENEFICIARIESCAPACITY BUILDINGCENTRAL CONTROLCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCITIZENCITIZENSCLINICSCOMMUNITY ACTIONCOUNTERPART FUNDSDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDECENTRALIZATION PROCESSDELEGATION OF AUTHORITYDEMOCRACYDISSEMINATIONDIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITIESECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION EVALUATIONEDUCATION EXPENDITURESEDUCATION PROGRAMEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATION SYSTEMSEFFICIENCY OF RESOURCE USEEQUAL OPPORTUNITIESEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURE DECENTRALIZATIONEXPENDITURESFAMILIESFEDERAL BUDGETFEDERAL FUNDINGFEDERAL SPENDINGFEDERAL TRANSFERSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISCAL AUTHORITYFISCAL AUTONOMYFISCAL DECENTRALIZATIONFISCAL FEDERALISMFISCAL INCENTIVESFISCAL SYSTEMGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGOVERNMENT PROGRAMSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE PROVIDERHEALTH CARE SYSTEMHEALTH CLINICSHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH PROGRAMSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SPENDINGHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTH UNITSHEALTH WORKERSHIGHER EXPENDITUREHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHUMAN CAPITALINCENTIVES FOR ACCOUNTABILITYINDIGENOUS PEOPLESINEQUITIESINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE SERVICESINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERMEDIARIESINTERNATIONAL COMPARISONSLEGAL STATUSLIFE EXPECTANCYLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL DEVELOPMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL INFRASTRUCTURELOCAL REVENUEMANDATESMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATEMEASUREMENT OF PERFORMANCEMEDICINESMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF FINANCEMINISTRY OF HEALTHMODERNIZATIONMORBIDITYMORTALITYMUNICIPAL AUTHORITIESMUNICIPAL COUNCILSMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTSMUNICIPAL LEVELMUNICIPAL PLANNINGMUNICIPAL SERVICESMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL ACTIONNATIONAL COUNCILNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL POLICIESNATIONAL POLITICSNATIONAL POPULATIONNATIONAL PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONSNATIONAL RESOURCESNURSESNUTRITIONOUTCOME INDICATORSPATIENTPATIENTSPEDAGOGYPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICAL PARTYPOLITICAL PROCESSPOLITICIANSPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY IMPACTPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVATE SECTORPROGRAM DESIGNPROGRAMSPROGRESSPUBLIC ACTIONPUBLIC DISCLOSUREPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INTERESTPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SCHOOLSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR SPECIALISTPUBLIC SERVICESQUALITY OF CAREQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF SERVICESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE ALLOCATIONSRESPECTRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYSALES TAXSANITATIONSCHOOL IMPROVEMENTSCHOOL MANAGEMENTSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLINGSECTORAL ALLOCATIONSECTORAL POLICYSERVICE AREASSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSERVICE QUALITYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL EXPENDITURESSOCIAL INFORMATIONSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SECURITY COVERAGESOCIAL SERVICESSTATE EXPENDITURESTATE GOVERNMENTSTATE GOVERNMENTSTAX BASETAX EFFORTTAXPAYERSTEACHER SALARIESTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETOTAL PUBLIC EXPENDITURETOTAL PUBLIC SPENDINGTRANSPARENCYUNEMPLOYMENTUNIONSURBAN POVERTYVACCINATIONWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/8173
