This paper analyzes the efficiency and equity of public spending on health and education in Ghana in the 1990 primary data from departments and the household survey data from the Ghana Statistical Service.
The document highlights the decline of the Ghana Public expenditure on education in the last part of the decade of 1990. Registration at public schools in basic education has been largely stagnant or declining. However, the basic education increases in private schools, leading to a moderate increase in total employment in Ghana. Regional differences are significant, with a small allocation of public resources and reduce enrollment rates among the three poorest regions. The quality of public education is still very low level, while private schools have steadily improved. Even after the inclusion of basic education in arrears with respect to basic education. In terms of health indicators, although Ghana is one of the West African countries are spending on health care for non-poor. While health services have achieved more than the rural population in recent years, many of them had little or no access to health services. In addition, the analysis highlights the lack of a relationship between the structure of public spending and health outcomes, particularly for the model of vaccination Ghana.
This paper argues that public spending must be linked to performance; ensure the efficient and equitable social delivered services in an economy of limited budgetary resources.
