SHARE THIS PAGE
Accountability mechanisms are crucial in addressing the urgent challenge of providing safe sanitation access to nearly half of the world's population.
Accountability Mechanisms for Inclusive City-Level Public Services in Asia targets the urgent challenge of providing safe sanitation access to nearly half of the world's population. It focuses on accountability mechanisms for sanitation service delivery and compiles insights from a global perspective, offering key messages for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners.
Drawing from global experiences and research, the edited volume conveys three key messages for policy makers. First, it stresses the critical role of performance assessment and budget briefs in enhancing transparency and accountability in sanitation service delivery, benefiting policy makers and citizens alike. Second, it sheds light on the complexities of engaging community-based organizations, urging policy makers to carefully consider their roles. Finally, the book underscores the pivotal importance of vertical and social accountability mechanisms for effective public service delivery. The discussions and policy messages will be particularly relevant for those attending the 10th World Water Forum in 2024 in Bali, Indonesia, with valuable insights for shaping future water and sanitation policies.
