Section 3 examines the institutional arrangements for resource allocation and service delivery in social sectors. Section 4 presents some of the main findings of tracking surveys. Section 5 analyzes methodological approaches used in previous tracking surveys in order to identify factors that could explain the difference in past surveys' success, and identify potential methodological harmonization. Section 6 presents a series of good practice principles that arise from past experience, and discusses how they could be implemented. Section 7 proposes potential future surveys and endeavors.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENTEEISMACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSACCOUNTABILITY RELATIONSHIPSACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMSACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING SYSTEMADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTUREALLOCATIONALLOCATION OF FUNDSALLOCATION OF RESOURCESASYMMETRIC INFORMATIONBASELINE DATABASIC HEALTH SERVICESBASIC SERVICESBUDGET ALLOCATIONBUDGET ALLOCATIONSBUDGET ESTIMATESBUDGET EXECUTIONBUDGET INFORMATIONBUDGET MANAGEMENTBUDGET SUPPORTBUDGET TRANSFERSBUDGETARY ALLOCATIONBUDGETARY ALLOCATIONSBUDGETARY INFORMATIONBUDGETARY RESOURCESBUDGETING PROCESSCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCAPITATIONCAPITATION GRANTCASH TRANSFERSCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCENTRAL GOVERNMENT MINISTRIESCLINICSCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTDATA COLLECTIONDATA ENTRYDATA QUALITYDECENTRALIZATIONDECENTRALIZATION POLICIESDEFICIENT ACCOUNTINGDEMAND FOR HEALTH CAREDISCRETIONARY EXPENDITURESDISCRETIONARY FUNDSDISPENSARIESDISTRICTDISTRICT ADMINISTRATIONDISTRICT ADMINISTRATIONSDISTRICT BUDGETDISTRICT EDUCATIONDISTRICT HEALTHDISTRICT LEVELDISTRICT OFFICESDISTRICT OFFICIALDISTRICT OFFICIALSDISTRICTSDONOR FUNDINGECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION EXPENDITURESEDUCATION SYSTEMEFFECTIVENESS OF PUBLIC SPENDINGEFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC SPENDINGEFFICIENCY OF SERVICE DELIVERYENTITLEMENTSEXPENDITURE ALLOCATIONEXPENDITURE ALLOCATIONSEXPENDITURE DATAFINANCIAL CAPACITYFINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONSFINANCIAL FLOWSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFINANCIAL TRANSFERSFISCAL YEARSGOVERNMENT BUDGETGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGRANT PROGRAMHEALTH ADMINISTRATIONHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE FACILITIESHEALTH CARE SYSTEMHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH CLINICSHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SERVICE DELIVERYHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SPENDINGHEALTH UNITSHEALTH WORKERSHIV/AIDSHOSPITALSIMMUNIZATIONIMPACT EVALUATIONSINFORMATION ASYMMETRYINFORMATION FLOWINFORMATION FLOWSINTENDED BENEFICIARIESINVESTMENT BUDGETLEVEL OF PUBLIC SPENDINGLIFE EXPECTANCYLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMEDICAL PRODUCTSMEDICAL SUPPLIESMEDICINESMEDIUM TERM EXPENDITUREMEDIUM TERM EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORKMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF FINANCEMINISTRY OF HEALTHMISMANAGEMENTMORAL HAZARDMORTALITYMULTILATERAL DONORSORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURESOUTCOME INDICATORSPATIENTPATIENTSPERFORMANCE OF GOVERNMENTPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY REFORMPOLICY REFORMSPOLICY-MAKERSPOLITICIANSPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION OBJECTIVESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRINCIPAL-AGENTPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROGRAMSPROVINCEPROVINCESPROVINCIAL LEVELSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWPUBLIC EXPENDITURE TRACKINGPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FUNDINGPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH CAREPUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMPUBLIC MANAGEMENTPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR REFORMPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERYPUBLIC SERVICESQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF HEALTHQUALITY OF SERVICESQUANTITATIVE DATAQUANTITATIVE SERVICE DELIVERYRECURRENT EXPENDITURESREFORM AGENDAREGIONAL ADMINISTRATIONRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE DISTRIBUTIONRESOURCE FLOWSSALARY PAYMENTSSANITATIONSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL SYSTEMSSECONDARY SCHOOLSSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMSERVICE FACILITIESSERVICE FACILITYSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSERVICE QUALITYSOCIAL INDICATORSSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL SERVICESOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL WELFARESUB-NATIONALTRANSPARENCYWAGE EXPENDITUREWAGE EXPENDITURESWORKERSReportWorld Bank10.1596/27714
