A two-day workshop, organized by the
World Banks Poverty Reduction and Economic Management (PREM)
and Human Development (HD) departments, was held in June
2005 in the Dominican Republic with the objective to explore
whether voice and accountability can improve the
effectiveness of Conditional Transfer Programs. Participants
included government and civil society representatives from
ten countries in the region, as well as World Bank staff.
Among the recommendations, participants suggested applying
clear and transparent targeting rules instead of secret
formulas, locating interview sites in schools and health
centers to reduce patronage and to allow for witnesses,
using qualitative information to make targeting formulas fit
local realities, allowing for verification of self-reported
income information, defining targeting as a success when it
achieves acceptance and comprehension of program goals,
being clear about program rules, posting lists of
beneficiaries in public places, using civil society
organizations to facilitate the flow of information,
improving incentives to encourage public service providers
to provide better information and be more responsive,
providing appeal mechanisms, and allowing beneficiaries to
choose among competing providers. |
