This study examines Public Expenditure Tracking Survey (PETS) and Quantitative Service Delivery Survey (QSDS) carried out in Africa with the objective of assessing their approaches, main findings, and contributions. Section 2 investigates the context, motivations, and objectives of PETS and QSDS that have been carried out in Sub-Saharan Africa. Section 3 examines the institutional arrangements for resource allocation and service delivery in social sectors. Section 4 presents some of the main findings of tracking surveys. Section 5 analyzes methodological approaches used in previous tracking surveys in order to identify factors that could explain the difference in past surveys' success, and identify potential methodological harmonization. Section 6 presents a series of good practice principles that arise from past experience, and discusses how they could be implemented. Section 7 proposes potential future surveys and endeavors.

L'histoire de Compostelle réserve plus d'une surprise et plus d'un paradoxe. Au début du IXe siècle, à l'extrémité occidentale de la péninsule ibérique, un tombeau est miraculeusement identifié comme celui de l'apôtre Jacques, disciple de Jésus. Entre cette mystérieuse découverte et le renouveau actuel du pèlerinage aussi spectaculaire qu'inattendu, la tradition de Compostelle a intégré un ensemble complexe de facteurs historiques, religieux, légendaires, politiques et sociaux. Le présent ouvrage souhaite rente accessible à un large public les apports de l'historiographie la plus récente, qui remettent en cause un certain nombre d'idées reçues. Il se penche sur les origines et l'histoire de la tradition compostellane ; puis il décrit les Chemins de Saint-Jacques, dans leur richesse historique, patrimoniale, artistique et touristique ; il cherche ensuite à décrypter la diversité des motivations actuelles, en s'appuyant sur les témoignages de croyants, bien sûr, mais aussi de non-croyants ; enfin, il fait une place aux aspects pratiques qui font le quotidien des marcheurs durant des semaines, voire des mois. La spécificité de Compostelle est d'entremêler un héritage historique et religieux séculaire avec les quêtes actuelles de spiritualité et de sens. Pour mieux rendre le sujet dans sa diversité, ce livre s'appuie sur une illustration riche et variée : photographies originales, de lieux, de monuments, de documents historiques..., schémas d'itinéraires, complétés par une carte de l'ensemble des Chemins.

In the public sector in developing countries, leakage of public resources could prove detrimental to users and affect the well-being of the population. This paper empirically examines the importance of leakage of government resources in the health sector in Chad, and its effects on the prices of drugs. The analysis uses data collected in Chad as part of a Health Facilities Survey organized by the World Bank in 2004. The survey covered 281 primary health care centers and contained information on the provision of medical material, financial resources, and medicines allocated by the Ministry of Health to the regional administration and primary health centers. Although the regional administration is officially allocated 60 percent of the ministry's non-wage recurrent expenditures, the share of the resources that actually reach the regions is estimated to be only 18 percent. The health centers, which are the frontline providers and the entry point for the population, receive less than 1 percent of the ministry's non-wage recurrent expenditures. Accounting for the endogeneity of the level of competition among health centers, the leakage of government resources has a significant and negative impact on the price mark-up that health centers charge patients for drugs.

This paper investigates individuals' bypassing behavior in the health sector in Chad and the determinants of individuals' facility choice. The authors introduce a new way to measure bypassing using the patients' own knowledge of alternative health providers available to them instead of assuming that information as previously done. The authors analyze how perceived health care quality and prices impact patients' bypassing decisions. The analysis uses data from a Quantitative Service Delivery Survey in Chad's health sector carried out in 2004. The survey covers 281 primary health care centers and 1,801 patients. The matching of facility data and patient data allows the analysis to control for a wide range of important patient and facility characteristics, such as income, severity of illness, quality of health care, or price of services. The findings show that income inequalities translate into health service inequalities. There is evidence of two distinct types of bypassing activities in Chad: (1) patients from low-income households bypass high-quality facilities they cannot afford to go to low-quality facilities, and (2) rich individuals bypass low-quality facilities and aim for more expensive facilities that also offer a higher quality of care. These significant differences in patients' facility choices are observed across income groups as well as between rural and urban areas.
