The approach is built around the framework of social guarantees and emphasizes multiple dimensions in the delivery of services and the realization of rights. The social guarantees approach converts abstract rights into defined standards that can be used as a framework for making public policy accountable to citizens. It emphasizes that effective realization of social rights requires attention not just to dimensions of access, but also to elements of quality, financial protection, and the availability of mechanisms of redress. Social guarantees strengthen citizenship through an emphasis on the policy mechanisms and democratic processes needed to define and support such standards. Rigorous analysis of available public resources and of institutions, programmatic approaches, and legal frameworks is essential to underpin the provision of social guarantees and to ensure that the set standards can be delivered to all.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTABILITYADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMSAFFORDABILITYAGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSASSETSBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC NEEDSBASIC SERVICESBUDGETARY ALLOCATIONSBUREAUCRACYBUREAUCRATIC DISCRETIONCITIZENCITIZENSCITIZENSHIPCIVIC PARTICIPATIONCIVIL LAWCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ACTORSCIVIL SOCIETY INSTITUTIONSCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONCLIMATE CHANGECLINICSCOMBAT POVERTYCOMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCONSENSUSCONSTITUTIONAL LAWCRIMECULTURAL RIGHTSDECISION MAKINGDECREEDEMOCRACYDEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT BANKDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDISPARITIES IN ACCESSDISSEMINATIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC POLICYECONOMIC RESOURCESECONOMIC RIGHTSECONOMIC SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL SERVICESEMPOWERMENTENROLLMENTENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTEQUAL OPPORTUNITYEQUAL RIGHTSEQUALITYEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITIESEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITYFAMILIESFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEFINANCIAL COMMITMENTSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOREIGN POLICYFUNDAMENTAL RIGHTSFUNDING SOURCESGLOBAL DEVELOPMENTGLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTSGOOD GOVERNANCEGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH CAREHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SECTOR REFORMHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMHOSPITALHUMAN BEINGSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RIGHTSHUMAN RIGHTS STANDARDSILLNESSESIMMUNODEFICIENCYINCOME GROUPINEQUALITYINEQUITIESINFORMED CHOICESINSTITUTION BUILDINGINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSURANCE AGENCIESINTERNAL MIGRATIONSINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL COVENANTINTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTSINVESTIGATIONSISOLATIONLAWSLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL FRAMEWORKSLEGAL PROVISIONSLEGAL STATUSLEGAL SYSTEMLEGAL SYSTEMSLEGISLATIONLEVELS OF GOVERNMENTLIVING CONDITIONSLOW-INCOME FAMILIESMEDICAL CONDITIONSMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINISTERMINISTERSMINISTRY OF HEALTHNATIONAL CONSTITUTIONNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONALSNATIONSNURSENUTRITIONOUTREACHPEACEPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY ANALYSTPOLICY CHANGEPOLICY DESIGNPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY OF CONTROLPOLICY PROCESSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY SERIESPOLITICAL MANAGEMENTPOLITICAL PROCESSPOOR PEOPLEPRACTITIONERSPRESIDENCYPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLSPROGRESSPSYCHOLOGYPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICEQUALITY OF LIFEQUALITY SERVICESREPRESENTATIVESRESEARCH CENTERSRESEARCH COMMUNITYRESEARCH PROGRAMRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESPECTRIGHT TO EDUCATIONRIGHT TO HEALTH CARERIGHTS PERSPECTIVERISK GROUPSRURAL AREASRURAL RESIDENTSSAFETY NETSSANCTIONSSCHOLARSHIPSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVISIONSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGYSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL DIMENSIONSSOCIAL EQUITYSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL IMPACTSOCIAL IMPACT ANALYSISSOCIAL INSTITUTIONSSOCIAL ISSUESSOCIAL JUSTICESOCIAL MOVEMENTSSOCIAL PLANNINGSOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RIGHTSSOCIAL SCIENCESSOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL STRUCTURESOVEREIGNTYSPATIAL DISTRIBUTIONSPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATIONSTATE AUTHORITIESSTATE RESPONSIBILITYSTRUCTURAL INEQUALITIESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE HUMAN DEVELOPMENTTERTIARY EDUCATIONTRADE UNIONSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTATIONUNIVERSAL AFFORDABILITYUNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTSUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONURBAN DEVELOPMENTUSER FEESVIOLENCEVOLUNTARY SECTORVULNERABLE GROUPSWELFARE STATEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7883-0
