Budgetary support for peso-denominated spending i.e., labor costs of medical professionals, operational costs of hospitals and clinics has remained strong.

Effective implementation of it required at least adequate budgetary support by national government.

Of this total, 47 million was targeted for land reform, and approximately 100 million was budgetary support which could have been used for land reform.

Budgetary support, which has been provided in decreasing amounts since independence, was phased out in 2000, with aid concentrated on project development.

Lack of budgetary support has been more noticeable at the primary and secondary levels, as the government has continued to subsidize university students.
