Description: |
In Papua New Guinea, the health, HIV/AIDS, and education outcomes are far less than commensurate with expenditure effort, and provision of basic services is poor. This book talks about the need to focus public resources on outcomes and cost-effectiveness while reducing sectoral fragmentation and addressing the decline in government systems. |
Synopsis: |
There is an emerging consensus in Papua New Guinea (PNG) - both at the governmental level and among civil society more generally - that there is a large unfinished human development agenda. Currently health, HIV/AIDS, and education outcomes are far less than commensurate with expenditure effort, and provision of basic services in many parts of the country is failing. The authors show the critical need to focus public resources on outcomes and cost-effectiveness while reducing sectoral fragmentation and addressing the decline in the integrity of government systems. |
