Chapter 2 presents some experiences of practitioners in the collection and/or use of indicators of basic service delivery and some examples of good practice. Chapter 3 illustrates some ways in which gender-sensitive indicators can be used to improve the relevance and quality of services to women. It offers perspectives of various actors in different positions administration, from national to local.
