Facility Level Explanations of Performance

The statistics presented in Chapters 3 to 7 have aimed to summarise important characteristics at the facility level. The averages presented in the tables and charts have enabled comparisons of average facility performance across points in time, facility types, province, and agency. They have shown many interesting differences. We have attempted throughout the report to explain these differences. For example, it seems likely that schools have fared better than health clinics over the last decade because they have been better financed, better governed, and better staffed.
