Abstract

This chapter summarizes the main conclusions from a Global Development Network (GDN) research project that was designed and directed by the authors. It supports them with detailed references to the three Latin American case studies published in this volume, which examined the impact of decentralization reforms on quality of education and water supply in Colombia, the effects of citizen participation in municipal budgeting on the quality of water supply in Peru and the consequences of a wide set of reforms—decentralization, teacher incentives, school autonomy—on the quality and equity of basic education in Chile and Uruguay. It also makes occasional references to some of the other 13 country or multi-country case studies of the GDN project (four in Asia, six in Africa and three in Central and Eastern Europe), covering 30 countries in total.
