The supportive activities were conducted simultaneously by three nongovernmental organizations in two endemic districts in the state of Orissa. The study finds that program impact varied significantly by location. Examining three potential sources of this variation (differential population characteristics, differential health worker characteristics, and differential implementer characteristics), the analysis provides evidence that both population and nongovernmental organization characteristics significantly affected the success of the program. The paper discusses these findings as they relate to the external validity of development policy evaluations and, specifically, for the ability of the health system to benefit from limited non-state capacity in under-resourced areas. 2014-06-26T22:39:46Z 2014-06-26T22:39:46Z 2014-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2014/06/19700592/involvement-local-ngos-enhance-public-service-delivery-cautionary-evidence-malaria-prevention-evaluation-india http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18812 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 6931 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research South Asia India
