These service delivery goals are typically oriented to improving access to and quality of social services, usually as part of broader government reform and decentralization strategies. There is one case of this type of a project in an emergency context, ensuring access to basic services as an important complement to a safety net strategy. There are other complementarities between safety nets and service delivery projects, for example many safety net programs like Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs) rely on the basic functioning of health and education services in the vicinity of program beneficiaries. The cohort includes 12 social service delivery-oriented SP projects representing about 15 percent of the cohort with an average of 2 operations approved per year in the period FY05-09. Despite the relatively lower frequency of this type of SP operation, there was broad regional representation with 5 in AFR, 4 in Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) and one each in Middle East and North Africa (MENA), South Asia Region (SAR) and Europe and Central Asia (ECA). The group is evenly divided between policy-based and investment lending, with six policy-based Development Policy Loan (DPL) and Private Sector Committee (PSC) projects, four specific investment projects, one technical assistance, and one emergency recovery project. The prominence of DPLs underscores the policy type of objectives often found in these projects. The DPLs range from PRSCs and DPLs with broader country focus, like Madagascar and Niger, to DPLs more narrowly focused on social services, as is the case of a series of DPLs in Peru. Investment lending ranges from stabilization of social services in response to crisis in the West Bank and Gaza, to longer-term institutional objectives of decentralizing social service delivery and financing in Serbia and Ethiopia. In terms of institutional objectives, these projects most typically focus on sector institutions and decentralization strategies. There is less of a focus on the community level than on sub-national government roles and responsibilities.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTABILITYAGEDANNUAL BUDGETANNUAL TARGETSASSESSMENT OF PERFORMANCEASYLUM SEEKERSBASELINE DATABASIC SERVICESBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBLOCK GRANTSBUDGET ALLOCATIONBUDGET EXECUTIONBUDGET INFORMATIONBUDGET SUPPORTBUDGET SUPPORT OPERATIONSCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY INDICATORSCASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCLINICSCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY SERVICESCONDITIONAL CASHDATA COLLECTIONDATA COLLECTION PLANDATA QUALITYDECENTRALIZATIONDECENTRALIZATION OF SERVICE DELIVERYDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVESECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTUREECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATION SYSTEMELIGIBILITY CRITERIAEMERGENCY RECOVERYEMERGENCY SERVICESEMERGENCY SITUATIONSENTITLEMENTSEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURE TRACKINGEXPENDITURE TRACKING STUDIESEXPENDITURE TRACKING SURVEYSEXPENDITURESFAMILIESFISCAL RULESFOOD AIDFOOD PROGRAMSFORMAL EMPLOYMENTGENDER DIMENSIONSGENERAL PRACTICEGOVERNMENT BUDGETHEALTH CAREHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INFORMATIONHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH WORKERSHIVHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTHUMAN RESOURCESHUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENTIMPROVING BUDGET PREPARATIONINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME SUPPORTINCOME TRANSFERSINFANT NUTRITIONINSERVICE TRAININGINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSURANCE POLICIESINTENDED BENEFICIARIESINTERVENTIONJOB LOSSJOB TRAININGLABOR LAWSLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLABOR SUPPLYLEGAL ASSISTANCELIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL BUDGETSLOCAL GOVERNMENT BUDGETSLOCAL INFRASTRUCTURELOCAL PUBLIC GOODSMALNUTRITIONMEANS TESTMEANS TESTINGMEASURABLE INDICATORSMEDICINESMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMORTALITYMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL BUDGETNATIONAL BUDGET INFORMATION SYSTEMNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNATIONAL INCOMENATIONAL PLANNINGNATIONAL PLANNING OFFICENATIONAL STATISTICSNATIONAL STATISTICS OFFICESNATURAL DISASTERSNEEDS ASSESSMENTNUTRITION PROGRAMNUTRITIONAL PROGRAMSOUTCOME INDICATORPARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENTSPAYMENT SYSTEMPENSIONPENSION SYSTEMSPERFORMANCE AGREEMENTSPERFORMANCE AUDITSPERFORMANCE CRITERIAPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPERFORMANCE INFORMATIONPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLIOPOORPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRENATAL CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPROGRAM OPERATIONSPROGRAM PERFORMANCEPUBLIC BUDGETPUBLIC BUDGETSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC PROVISIONPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC WORKSQUALITY ASSESSMENTSQUALITY OF SERVICESREFUGEESREGIONAL GOVERNMENTSRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRURAL INFRASTRUCTURESAFETY NETSAFETY NET OPERATIONSSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSANITATIONSAVINGSSAVINGS ACCOUNTSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL COMPLETIONSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSECONDARY SCHOOLSSECTORAL BUDGETSECTORAL GOALSSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMSERVICE FACILITYSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE QUALITYSEVERANCE PAYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL FUNDSOCIAL FUND PROJECTSSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL OUTCOMESSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROGRAMSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEMSOCIAL SERVICESOCIAL WELFARESTATE GOVERNMENTSUBSIDIZATIONSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTARGETINGTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETEMPORARY EMPLOYMENTTRANSFER PAYMENTSTRANSPARENCYUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCEVACCINATIONVULNERABLE GROUPSWATER SUPPLYWELFARE INDICATORSWELLNESSWORKS PROGRAMWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/27371
