Summary: In the basic-needs approach to development, the function of target setting is to raise minimum levels of basic-needs satisfaction in specific fields and, where possible, to avoid widening the gap between rich and poor. Conversely, the satisfaction of basic needs through government services implies the setting of targets by which policy may be oriented and performance may be measured. In this book the authors concentrate on four major sectors of activity in government services-health, education, housing and transport-and, by analysing the operations involved in these sectors, discuss relevant and appropriate forms of target setting, with particular reference to developing countries.
