  2. Governance in HD is about Improving Service Delivery and Outcomes • Improving outcomes through enhanced efficiency, equity and quality of service delivery requires improved governance – good intentions and more spending are not enough • Good governance requires (i) stronger incentives for service providers and (ii) stronger accountability mechanisms (‘long and short route’) to improve results in the delivery of services and benefits.

  3. Improving agency • Involves influencing: policy makers (e.g. spending decisions, quality of services) and providers (e.g. effort) • Requires access to information (‘transparency’) & opportunities to use it (‘redress’) • Information: timely, relevant, credible (e.g. right to information, information campaigns, scorecards) • Opportunities: turn information into action (e.g. vote, complaints, user oversight, choice).
