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 CANCERCAPITATIONCERTIFICATIONCIRCULATORY SYSTEMCITIESCLINICSCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESDEATH RATEDOCTORSEDUCATIONEMPLOYMENTENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHEPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCEESSENTIAL DRUGSEXPENDITURESFAMILIESFOOD PRODUCTIONFREE CHOICEGENERAL PRACTICEHEALTHHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SECTORHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH CARE SYSTEMSHEALTH CARE UTILIZATIONHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH INSURERSHEALTH POLICIESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PROFESSIONALSHEALTH PROMOTIONHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH REFORMHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH STATUSHEALTH STATUS INDICATORSHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEM GOALSHEALTH SYSTEM PERFORMANCEHEALTH WORKERSHEALTH WORKFORCEHOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORSHOSPITAL BEDSHOSPITAL CAREHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLDSIMMUNIZATIONIMMUNODEFICIENCYINFANT MORTALITYINPATIENT CAREINSURANCE SYSTEMSINTERMEDIARIESLABORATORIESLAWSLIFE EXPECTANCYMANAGERSMEDICAL EDUCATIONMEDICAL INSURANCEMEDICAL SERVICESMIDWIFERYMORTALITYNURSESNUTRITIONAL STATUSPARASITIC DISEASESPATIENTSPEDIATRIC HOSPITALSPEDIATRICSPHARMACIESPHYSICIANSPOPULATION GROUPSPRIMARY CAREPRIVATE SECTORPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH SERVICESPUBLIC SECTORRURAL AREASSAFETYSERVICE DELIVERYSEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASESSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL SERVICESSTDSSURGERYSYPHILISTOWNSURBAN AREASVACCINATIONSWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/15381
