Public sector reform for children: governmental structures and processes
With a focus on birth registration, this project contributes to both equity and bottleneck analysis by identifying where and how centrally defined policy is reinterpreted in the implementation process. It addresses the problematic issue of ascertaining causal relationships for results, explores the impact (or lack thereof) of policies on the most marginalized children, and assesses the overall process and effectiveness of co-ordination. The case study, carried out in two districts in Ghana by the University of Pittsburgh and CRRECENT of Ghana, will be published in 2013, and the identification of second and third case study countries is underway.
