To exert adquate effort, providers must feel they are accountable for the quality of service they provide. Yet a sense of accountability among providers does not necessarily occur naturally, often requiring mechanisms to monitor and incentivize provider effort. The literature on improving provider accountability has under-emphasized the role of monitoring practices by school principals and chief medical officers. This study begins to fill this gap by investigating the role of within-facility accountability mechanisms in the education and health sectors of Jordan. To do this, an analysis of existing and original data from these sectors was conducted in which the association of within-facility monitoring and provider effort was quantified. The results indicate that within-facility monitoring is underutilized in both sectors and is a consistent predictor of higher provider effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamer Samah Rabie,Samira Nikaein Towfighian,Cari Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1464810699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781464810695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Bank Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Tamer Samah Rabie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444983247103,"sku":"9781464810695","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b67c2499-af20-44ea-8d08-0fe731e4710b.jpg?v=1777215844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-last-mile-to-quality-tamer-samah-rabie-9781464810695","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
