3. Location: Philippines
Description: The Filipino Report Card on Pro-poor
Services assesses the performance of selected
government services based on client experience.
These services are basic health, elementary
education, housing, potable water, and food
distribution. The Report Card results throw light on the
constraints Filipinos face in accessing public service,
their views about the quality and adequacy of
services, and the responsiveness of government
officials. They provide valuable insights on the
priorities and problems faced by the clients and how
the various services may be better tailored to the
needs of Filipinos in general, and the poor in
particular.

6. CASE 4: CITIZEN
REPORT CARD
Location: Bengaluru, India
Description: The Citizens’ Report Card in Bangalore

accountability. The exercise gathered citizen feedback
on performance of public agencies and disseminated
the findings to the citizenry, thus exerting public
pressure on the agencies to initiate reforms. A seven-
point rating scale facilitated quantification of citizen
satisfaction levels with regard to service delivery,
dimensions of corruption, staff behaviour, and so forth.
The report card exercise was repeated in 1999 & 2003,
to provide a comparative assessment of the progress
since 1993.
