Appropriate funding allocations and efficient use of funds in education and health are fundamental for the development of the sectors. This public expenditure review (PER) of the Congolese education and health sectors aims at providing inputs to improve efficiency and equity in spending in these sectors. It takes into account the following findings of the macro PER: (i) spending on the social sectors is still low although it has increased over time; (ii) the fiscal space generated by the increased oil revenues has largely boosted investment expenditure; and (iii) budget execution is low which contributes to lower the real level of public spending. The PER is divided in two main parts. Part I, constitutes an overview of the two sector reports. Thus, it presents a brief analysis of the context of the country, a summary of findings of the education and health PER, a discussion on cross-cutting themes on spending in the two sectors, and a summary of recommendations. Part II includes the education and health PER.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABILITY TO PAYACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESADULT LITERACYARMED CONFLICTSBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC HEALTH SERVICESBUDGET EXECUTIONBURDEN OF DISEASEC-SECTIONSCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL STOCKCHILD MORTALITYCHILD MORTALITY RATECHILD MORTALITY RATESCONTRACEPTIVE METHODSCYCLE OF POVERTYDEATH RATEDEBTDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISPENSARIESDISSEMINATIONDOCTORSDROPOUTECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION DISPARITIESEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEQUITABLE ACCESSEQUITY IN ACCESSEXCHANGE RATEFAMILIESFERTILITYFINANCIAL ADMINISTRATIONFINANCIAL CONSTRAINTSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL OPERATIONSFISCAL REVENUEFORMAL EDUCATIONGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUITYGENDER PARITYGENERIC DRUGSGOVERNMENT BUDGETGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE DELIVERYHEALTH CARE FACILITIESHEALTH CARE PROVIDERSHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH CONDITIONSHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH EXPENDITUREHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH MINISTRIESHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POSTSHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH RISKSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH STATUSHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEM FINANCINGHEALTH SYSTEM PERFORMANCEHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTHCARE PROVIDERSHIGH RATES OF FERTILITYHIVHIV/AIDSHOSPITALHOSPITAL BEDSHOSPITAL UTILIZATIONHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTHUMAN RESOURCESHUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENTIDEAL NUMBER OF CHILDRENILLNESSILLNESSESINCIDENCE ANALYSISINEQUITIESINFANTINFANT DEATHSINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFECTIOUS DISEASESINFORMATION SYSTEMINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINTEGRATIONINTERVENTIONJOB CREATIONLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIMITED RESOURCESLITERACY RATESLIVE BIRTHSLIVING CONDITIONSMALARIAMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATEMEASLESMEDICAL DOCTORSMEDICAL SERVICESMEDICAL SUPPLIESMEDICINESMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINISTRY OF ECONOMYMINISTRY OF HEALTHMORTALITYMOTHERNATIONAL AUTHORITIESNATIONAL COUNCILNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL POLICYNEO-NATAL MORTALITYNUMBER OF DEATHSNURSESPALLIATIVE CAREPATIENTPATIENTSPERFORMANCE ANALYSISPHYSICIANSPOLIOPOPULATION DENSITYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRE-NATAL CAREPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL AGEPRIMARY SCHOOLSPROGRESSPROVISION OF EDUCATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWPUBLIC FINANCIAL AIDPUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENTPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMPUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMSPUBLIC HEALTH SERVICESPUBLIC HOSPITALSPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY EDUCATIONQUALITY OF CAREQUALITY OF HEALTHQUALITY OF SERVICESQUALITY SERVICEREFERRAL FACILITYREGIONAL INEQUALITIESREGIONAL NEEDSREPEATERSRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONRETENTION RATERURAL AREASRURAL POPULATIONSSCHOOL AGESCHOOL CHILDRENSCHOOL YEARSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECTORAL ALLOCATIONSECTORAL ALLOCATIONSSERVICE DELIVERYSET OF GOALSSOCIAL SECTORSSOVEREIGNTYSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTEACHER RATIOTEACHER SALARIESTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETERTIARY EDUCATIONTOTAL EXPENDITURETRADITIONAL HEALERSTRANSPARENCYUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNION MEMBERSUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBANIZATIONUSE OF CONTRACEPTIONUSE OF CONTRACEPTIVESUSE OF HEALTH SERVICESUSE OF RESOURCESUSER FEESVACCINATIONVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONWOMANWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION10.1596/19299
