Australian Development Gateway

The Australian Development Gateway (ADG) strives to support members of the development community in their efforts to reduce poverty and enhance sustainable development in the Asia Pacific region. The site has been created with participation from members of government, private, academia and non-government organisations. User feedback mechanisms have been incorporated to guide future directions of the site. The site is optimised for low bandwidth access to enable the widest participation throughout the Asia Pacific region.

Monitoring & evaluation of decentralisation reforms in developing country health sectors

This work presents a conceptual framework for identifying key areas for evaluation of decentralization programs and the pathways - and potential barriers - by which decentralization can affect health systems.

It also identifies ways to evaluate the impact of decentralization in achieving key objectives - improved efficiency, accessibility, equity, community participation and health status. The work outlines the types of data that can be collected and a detailed set of indicators in several broad areas - political, administrative, and fiscal - that can be useful for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
