Despite all these limitations, most developing countries are likely to be able to, and should, implement at least a rough version of outcome measurement—even governments who exercise tight control over their populations should undertake outcome measurements, if they are truly interested in the welfare of their citizens and not solely concerned with retention of power. (The latter governments might restrict the reporting of the findings. However, as long as they seek to make services as helpful to citizens as possible, these governments should also implement an outcome measurement process.)
