|||||||
Senegal meets the international standard for education spending set by the Incheon Declaration at 15% of the total tax revenues. It however needs to increase the expenditure on healthcare as the current spending is lower compared to the previous years. |
|||||||
There is an urgent need for Bangladesh to invest more into healthcare and education. The results show that it does not meet the international standards for neither healthcare nor education. There are no visible efforts to improve the situation as the investments into public services have not been raising in the past years. If citizens are to pay their taxes, the government must allocate more resources to improve the public services. |
|||||||
Pakistan is not investing enough into its education and healthcare system, according to the international standards. Although the resources allocated to the basic services have been increasing in the past years, further efforts need to be made to meet the desired levels. |

Expenditure on health, education and agriculture do not meet international standards. Expenditure on other areas such as presidency and military do enjoy royal allocations. |
|||||||
The security sector alone absorbs 29% of total public spending – equaling that of health and education combined. This has created widespread concern in Palestinian society over what is considered as ‘overspending on security’ at the expense of social services. |
|||||||
Expenditures on basic public services in Vietnam such as education and health were fairly well evaluated. Education expenditure accounted for 18-20% of total state budget expenditure. On the other hand, expenditure on healthcare and agriculture does not meet international standards. |
