description: The  dissertation  consists  of  three  essays  which  evaluate  the  effects  of  two  Indian government   interventions that aim to hone public service delivery. These interventions encompass, firstly, a maternity benefit program which aims to improve maternal and child health and avoid unintended fertility increases, and secondly, a community monitoring tool called external social audits which aims to improve service delivery by reducing corruption and mismanagement within a public work program. The dissertation shows that while these interventions managed to improve intermediary outcomes and eliminated some unintended effects, they had no or only small beneficial effects on the overarching development goals in health and employment.
