The Economics of Faith-Based Service Delivery provides the first ever comprehensive empirical assessment of the role that faith-inspired institutions (FIIs) play in the supply of health care
and education services in sub-Saharan Africa. Wodon focuses on estimating the market share, reach to the poor, and cost for households relying on FIIs, as opposed to public and private
secular providers of education and health care services. He also analyses the comparative performance of FIIs and the satisfaction among their users with the services received as well as why
users rely on FIIs.
The Economics of Faith-Based Service Delivery is an innovate combination of nationally representative household surveys that have not been used for this purpose, qualitative fieldwork, and
insights from the fields of religious studies and social economics.
