This paper describes and analyses the results of an innovative survey tool to gauge the extent to which public resources actually filter down to the intended end-user. It focuses on one of the key public programs in education in Uganda, a per student capitation grant to cover school's non-wage expenditure. The survey compared disbursed flows from central government (intended resources) with the resources actually received by 250 primary schools over a five-year period (1991-95). This unique panel data set is used to study the level and determinants of local capture.
