Description:

The purpose of this paper is to survey the literature on community monitoring projects that have attempted to improve health sector governance by promoting greater community involvement in monitoring and oversight of health service providers, to describe common features and shared challenges that these projects face, to identify existing gaps in knowledge and practice, and serve as an input to a broader discussion of the prospects for incorporation of community-based accountability mechanisms in performance-based incentive programs.
