description |
This paper uses a randomized community
development program in rural Pakistan to assess the impact
of citizen engagement on the quality of public health
services. The program had a strong emphasis on organizing
women, who also identified health services as a development
priority at baseline. Assessing the program at midline, the
paper finds that the mobilization effort alone had a
significant impact on the performance of village-based
health providers. The study detects economically large
improvements in pregnancy and well-baby visits by lady
health workers, as well as increased utilization of pre- and
post-natal care by pregnant women. In contrast, the quality
of supra-village health services did not improve,
underscoring the importance of community enforcement and
monitoring capacity for improving service delivery. |
