Completed in mid-2014, the report identifies ways to strengthen the current mechanisms for investing in rural service delivery by examining the three main types of financing for small-scale infrastructure and livelihood activities constituency, province and community-oriented funds in a national and global context across four key programs between 2008 and 2012. A summary of the programs is provided in Table 1. The report explores the following key components across the four programs: analysis and consolidation of sub-project data; local development planning; efficiency and effectiveness; accountability, transparency and dispute management; and sustainability.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMSADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTUREAGRICULTURAL SERVICESAIDAID COORDINATIONALLOCATIONANNUAL REPORTSARCHITECTUREAUDITOR GENERALBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARY COSTSBUDGET ALLOCATIONSBUDGET DOCUMENTSBUDGET ENVELOPEBUDGET ESTIMATESBUDGET PROCESSBUDGETING PROCESSBUILDING CODESCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY CONSTRAINTSCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL INVESTMENTCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCLIMATE CHANGECLINICSCOMMUNITY AMENITIESCOMMUNITY COMMITTEESCOMMUNITY GROUPSCOMMUNITY LEVELCOMMUNITY MEMBERSCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMPARATIVE ANALYSISCOMPETITIVE PROCUREMENTCONFLICTCOST ESTIMATESCOST OF SERVICEDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION-MAKINGDECISION-MAKING PROCESSESDESCRIPTIONDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT FUNDSDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENTDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVESDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDEVELOPMENT PLANSDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMSDEVELOPMENT PROJECTSDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYEFFECTIVENESS OF SERVICE DELIVERYENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENTEXCHANGE RATEEXPENDITURE ANALYSISEXPENDITURE DATAEXPENDITURESEXTERNAL ASSESSMENTFEMALEFEMALE PARTICIPATIONFINANCIAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSFORMAL ECONOMYGAPSGOVERNMENT STRUCTUREGRANT FUNDSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH SERVICESHOUSINGHOUSING CENSUSESHYGIENEINCOMEINCOME GROWTHINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE POLICIESINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTLACK OF INFORMATIONLOCAL ADMINISTRATIONLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMEDICAL SERVICESMINISTERIAL COORDINATIONMINISTRY OF AGRICULTUREMINISTRY OF FINANCEMINISTRY OF HEALTHNATIONAL BUDGETNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL GOVERNMENTNATIONAL PLANNINGNATIONAL PLANSOPERATIONAL COSTSOVERSIGHT COMMITTEEPERFORMANCE OF GOVERNMENTPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLITICAL SUPPORTPOORPOOR POLICYPRIORITIESPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROGRAM EVALUATIONSPROGRAMSPROVINCEPROVINCE-LEVELPROVINCESPROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATIONPROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATIONSPROVINCIAL ALLOCATIONPROVINCIAL BUDGETPROVINCIAL DEVELOPMENTPROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTPROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTSPROVINCIAL INVESTMENTPROVINCIAL LEVELPROVINCIAL STAFFPROVINCIAL SUPPORTPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FUNDINGPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SPENDINGQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY CONTROLQUALITY SERVICERDPRECURRENT EXPENDITURESREDISTRIBUTIONREDISTRIBUTION OF FUNDSRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRURALRURAL AREASRURAL BUSINESSRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL COMMUNITYRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL HEALTHRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INCOMERURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL SERVICERURAL SERVICE DELIVERYRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSANITATIONSAVINGSSECTOR MINISTRIESSECTOR MINISTRYSECTOR PROGRAMSSERVICE PROVIDERSSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL SERVICESSPECIAL ACCOUNTSUB-NATIONALSUBNATIONALSUSTAINABILITYTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSPARENCYUNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMURBAN COMMUNITIESVILLAGEVILLAGE LEVELVILLAGESYOUTH10.1596/21530
