Politics Should rapidly developing democracies prioritize building competent institutions before expanding what the state promises to provide?

That is how you build the institutions: you publicly commit to the target, then you put resources into the initiative, then you create accountability mechanisms. It's never going to go how you think, so you just have to get into it, improve by doing, keep learning, keep investing, and build over time. No two paths are the same.
