Abstract

This chapter develops an original “theory of change” that connects PB programs to three community-level outcomes: the promotion of accountability, expansion of civil society, and improvements in well-being. To explain the variation in outcomes, this explanatory framework includes macro-level (political context, decentralization, economic conditions) and meso-level (government support, configuration of civil society, state capacity) factors that condition PB programs’ impacts. The discussion then moves beyond the macro and meso to drill down to “variation in program design.” The chapter identifies several rules (scale/level of adoption, presence of social justice rules, program emphasis on social inclusion, vote rules, and oversight process) that significantly influence the outcomes that PB programs produce. Thus, this chapter illuminates how variation in the macro, meso, and PB design rules condition and constrain the types of outcomes associated with PB. The chapter concludes by linking the theory of change to the PB Types (introduced in Chapter 1) to theorize how each PB program type is likely to be associated with distinct impacts.
PB对个人和社区影响的理论化
本章提出了一个原创的“变革理论”,将PB项目与三个社区层面的成果联系起来:促进问责制、扩大公民社会和改善福祉。为了解释结果的差异,该解释框架包括宏观层面(政治背景、权力下放、经济条件)和中观层面(政府支持、公民社会结构、国家能力)影响PB计划影响的因素。然后讨论超越宏观和中观,深入到“程序设计中的变化”。本章确定了几条规则(采用的规模/水平、社会公正规则的存在、项目对社会包容的强调、投票规则和监督过程),这些规则对PB项目产生的结果有重大影响。因此,本章阐明了宏观、中观和PB设计规则的变化是如何制约与PB相关的结果类型的。本章最后将变化理论与PB类型(在第1章中介绍)联系起来,以理论化每种PB项目类型如何可能与不同的影响相关联。
