Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike in the production of most goods, changes in capacity for labor-intensive services only affect outcomes of interest insofar as service providers change the way they allocate their time in response to those capacity changes. In this paper, we examine how public sector service providers respond to unexpected capacity constraints in the specific context of public health clinics. We exploit an exogenous reduction in public health clinic capacity to quantify nurses' trade-off between patients treated and time spent with each patient, which we treat as a proxy for a quality v. quantity decision. We provide evidence that these small and generally insignificant effects on nurse time favor public sector employees prioritizing quality of each interaction over clearing the patient queue.

Book Synopsis Decentralization and the Provision of Public Services by : Aehyung Kim
Download or read book Decentralization and the Provision of Public Services written by Aehyung Kim and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This paper discusses decentralization (administrative, fiscal and political) of government in public service provision. It aims to facilitate understanding among practitioners, policy makers, and scholars about what decentralization entails in practice compared to theory. A review of the empirical literature and experience of decentralization is presented. The paper highlights issues that policy makers in developing and transitional countries should be aware of when reforming government, considering their unique political and economic environment. The author argues that decentralization produces efficiency gains stemming from inter-jurisdictional competition, enhanced checks and balances over the government through voting at the subnational level, and informational advantages due to proximity to citizens. By contrast, arguments against decentralization include the risk of an increased level of corruption, coordination problems stemming from multiple layers of government, low capacity of subnational government, and unproductive inter-jurisdictional competition. Decentralization itself does not render increased government effectiveness in public service provision. Instead, the effectiveness of government largely depends on the quality of human capital and institutions.

Book Synopsis Connecting Knowledge and Performance in Public Services by : Kieran Walshe
Download or read book Connecting Knowledge and Performance in Public Services written by Kieran Walshe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of public services is now more closely scrutinised than ever before. Every teacher, doctor, social worker or probation officer knows that behind them stands a restless army of overseers, equipped with a panoply of league tables, star ratings, user opinion surveys, performance indicators and the like with which to judge them. This increased scrutiny and performance measurement has undoubtedly produced improved public services. Yet we still have a limited understanding about how this information can be best used to bring about improvements in performance. What goes on inside the 'black box' of public organisations to move from information to action, or from 'knowing' to 'doing'? This book tackles this important question by reviewing a wide range of performance mechanisms. It explores how information about performance can be translated into improvements in services and, conversely, why this does not always happen in practice.

Book Synopsis Public Sector Decentralization by : Jerry M. Silverman
Download or read book Public Sector Decentralization written by Jerry M. Silverman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is addressed to a broad audience of development professionals who are interested in both the substance of decentralisation issues and their impact on economic development. The paper summarises experience with alternative decentralisation arrangements and suggests a new analytical framework for assessing the impact of such arrangements on the performance of economic development programmes and projects. Consideration of alternative forms of decentralisation reveals the need to clarify and establish priorities among economic and political objectives. The potential for conflict among multiple objectives and the need to assess decentralisation policies in terms of acceptable trade-offs among those objectives summarises the importance of this paper.
Book Synopsis Reforming the African Public Sector. Retrospect and Prospects by : R.A. Ayee
Download or read book Reforming the African Public Sector. Retrospect and Prospects written by R.A. Ayee and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reforming the African Public Sector: Retrospect and Prospectsis an in-depth and wide-ranging review of the available literature on African public sector reforms. It illustrates several differing country experiences to buttress the main observations and conclusions. It adopts a structural/institutional approach which underpins most of the reform efforts on the continent. To contextualize reform of the public sector and understand its processes, dynamics and intricacies, the book examines the state and state capacity building in Africa, especially when there can be no state without an efficient public sector. In addition, the book addresses a number of theories such as the new institutional economics, public choice and new public management, which have in one way or another influenced most of the initiatives implemented under public sector reform in Africa. There is also a survey of the three phases of public sector reform which have emerged and the balance sheet of reform strategies, namely, decentralization, privatization, deregulation, agencification, co-production and public-private partnerships. It concludes by identifying possible alternative approaches such as developing a vigorous public sector ethos and sustained capacity building to promote and enhance the renewal and reconstruction of the African public sector within the context of the New Partnerships for Africa's Development (NEPAD), good governance and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Book Synopsis Handbook of Public Service Delivery by : Christopher G Reddick
Download or read book Handbook of Public Service Delivery written by Christopher G Reddick and published by . This book was released on 2024-09-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting an integrated approach, this Handbook examines the design, organization, implementation and evaluation of public service delivery. Emphasizing the complex and dynamic nature of public service, it draws on cutting-edge research to identify responses to the unique challenges of the field. Expert contributors analyze the evolution of theoretical approaches and best practices for public service delivery in light of fundamental changes to the socio-political and cultural environment. Tracing connections between different aspects, they illustrate the flexible, collaborative and innovative modes of delivery that are supplementing traditional centralized models. Chapters investigate how to manage important considerations including citizen expectations, economic efficiency, democratic accountability and limitations on capacity. Ultimately, the Handbook demonstrates that in order to be effective, public service delivery must be adapted to specific local and national contexts. Examining both the theory and practice of public service delivery, this Handbook is an essential resource for students and scholars in public administration and management, public sector economics and public policy. It will also be of great use to professionals in government and NGOs seeking to optimize public service delivery.
Book Synopsis Extending social protection to rural populations by : International Labour Organization
Download or read book Extending social protection to rural populations written by International Labour Organization and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the importance of social protection, today more than 70 percent of the world’s population still has no or limited access to comprehensive social protection. Coverage in rural areas, where about 80 percent of the world’s poor live, is even lower. Achieving an effective extension of the coverage of social protection benefits and services to the rural population is a key challenge which must be addressed in order to achieve SDG 1.3. “Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable”. This will require bridging gaps and removing existing barriers that limit the access of rural populations to social protection.Extending social protection for all is core to the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). The present paper lays out the specific profiles, risks and vulnerabilities of rural populations and explores options to extend social protection coverage to them.
