This report presents findings from the resulting review undertaken between October 1999 and June 2000. The review team looked not only at these expenditures (including social protection) themselves, but also at their efficiency and effectiveness as a means for achieving Kyrgyz objectives in the social policy arena. The review team first examined medium-term priorities for social policy under sharp resource constraints, then considered feasible strategies for achieving these priorities, and finally looked at their implications for policies, administration, and public expenditures. The report is in 2 volumes. Volume 1 provides an overview of the findings on health, education, and social protection. Volume 2 offers more detailed critiques of expenditures and policies on health and education.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOSOCIAL POLICYGOVERNMENT SPENDING POLICYPUBLIC EXPENDITURESHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH REFORMQUALITY OF EDUCATIONEDUCATIONAL SERVICESEFFICIENCYSOCIAL PROTECTION SYSTEMSGOVERNMENT BUDGETINGEDUCATIONAL FINANCINGSCHOOL ENROLLMENTHOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURES FOR EDUCATIONEDUCATIONAL INDICATORSPUBLIC EDUCATIONSOCIAL FUNDSINFORMAL SECTOREDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTPAY-AS-YOU-GO SYSTEMSCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTSKILL ANALYSIS AGEDBEDDINGCDFCIVIL SOCIETYCPICURRENCY UNITDOCTORSECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATIONEDUCATION PROGRAMSEFFECTIVE USEEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT STATUSEPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCEEXPENDITURE CONTROLEXPENDITURE SURVEYFAMILIESFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITYFIXED COSTSFOOD BASKETHEALTHHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE COSTSHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FINANCEHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH ISSUESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH REFORMHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH STATUSHEALTH SURVEYHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEMSHOSPITAL CAREHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENT SECTOR UNITIMMUNODEFICIENCYINCOMEINCOME GENERATIONINDEXATIONINFLATIONINFORMAL SECTORINNOVATIONINTERVENTIONLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLAWSLIVING STANDARDSMALNUTRITIONMANAGERSMARGINAL COSTSMARKET ECONOMYMEDICAL CAREMEDICAL EDUCATIONMEDICAL INSURANCEMIDWIFERYMORTALITYPARASITIC DISEASESPATIENTSPHYSICIANSPOLICY ARENAPOLICY INITIATIVESPOLICY MAKERSPOOR COMMUNITYPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOPULATION SIZEPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY GROUPPOVERTY HEADCOUNTPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY MONITORINGPOVERTY STATUSPRICE SUBSIDIESPRIMARY CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIVATE SECTORPROTECTION POLICIESPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SECTORREAL TERMSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE CONSTRAINTSRESOURCE USERURAL AREASRURAL POVERTYSERVICE DELIVERYSEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASESSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL EXPENDITURESSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL PROTECTION PROGRAMSSOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL SERVICESSTDSSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTTASK TEAM LEADERTAX REVENUETEAMTEAM WORKINGTRANSITION COUNTRIESUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASWAGE DIFFERENTIALSWAGESWILLINGNESS TO PAYWORKERSWORKINGWorld Bank10.1596/15397
