Description:
Community-based monitoring and planning (CBMP) of health services in Maharashtra state, India represents an innovative participatory approach to improving accountability and healthcare delivery. This paper examines the successes and challenges of this process, discussing lessons learned and the potential for generalizing such initiatives to other sectors and regions. Maharashtra’s experiment could inform ‘communitization’ of health services in diverse contexts, as an alternative to
privatization and as a means to enhancing the ‘publicness’ of health services. [from summary]
