This Monitoring Accountability checklist can be used as a diagnostic tool to assess service delivery performance in the public sector and accountability from a rights based perspective.

The checklist questions cover the following areas:

• What public funds/resources are available to officials/service providers? How do they plan to use them?
• How effectively are public funds spent?
• How do service providers perform in implementing their plans? Are quality public services delivered?
• What mechanisms exist to prevent & what corrective measures are taken in response to misuse and abuse of public resources?
• Are officials/service providers called to account by oversight bodies for their performance?
