wo policy frameworks address the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) in Pakistan which include the Poverty Reduction Strategy
Paper (PRSP) and the Medium Term Development Framework (2005-2010). The PRSP,
being the key macroeconomic framework, has forecasted public expenditures for
seventeen pro-poor sectors until 2009. The framework defines a pro-poor policy
strategy revolving around harnessing the potential of the people through increased
public investment in education, health, water and sanitation, gender, employment
and social safety nets. The Gross Domestic Product growth rate has been downwardly
revised from the initially targeted 7.2 percent to 5.78 percent for the fiscal
year 2007-08. Development strategies focusing on the attainment of MDGs have been
elaborated in the Medium-Term Development Framework (2005-2010). Pakistan intends
to increase its pro-poor spending to 6.49 percent of GDP (from an earlier 4.25
percent 2004-2005) by 2010 for attaining the MDG targets by 2015. Pakistan’s total
education expenditures stood at USD 1.95 billion during FY2004-05 (2 percent of
GDP) whereas the total health expenditures stood at USD 0.52 billion (0.5 percent
of GDP). Pakistan has decided to double the expenditures on health and education
as a percentage of GDP by FY2009-10. This means that the Government intends to
spend about 4 percent of GDP on education which amounts to about USD 8.8 billion,
and 1.0 percent of GDP on health which amounts to about USD 2.2 billion by the
end of 2010...more
