The World Development Report 2004 investigates how countries can accelerate progress towards the Millennium Develop ment Goals (MDGs) by making services work for poor people. Succes s in reaching the MDGs will depend not just on faster economic gr owth and the flow of sources, but on our ability to translate tho se resources into basic services, especially in health, education , water, and sanitation. Too often, the delivery of services fall s far short of what could be achieved, due to issues such as weak incentives for performance, corruption, imperfect monitoring, an d administrative logjams. Some countries have addressed the probl em by involving poor people in service delivery; the results have been impressive. Giving parents input into their children's educ ation, patients a say over hospital management, and making agency budgets transparent all contribute to improving outcomes in huma n development. Celebrating the successful innovations-while takin g a hard look at some of the failures-this Report offers guidance to policymakers, donors, and citizens on improving the delivery of basic services.;It serves to deepen understanding and highligh t the importance of empowering and investing in poor people.
