| Summary: | In Madagascar, donors have traditionally
counted for almost half of the government's budget and
have been, by far, the main source of funding in social
sectors. Since the beginning of the crisis, official aid
toward education, health, and social protection surged,
reaching almost US$260 million in 2010 against US$180
million in 2008. This increased failed nonetheless to
improve significantly social indicators. Official aid flows
have been cut since beginning of the political crisis except
to social sectors where donors have increased significantly
their disbursements between 2008 and 2010. This increase has
been justified on humanitarian grounds, to respond to the
growing social distress of the population. Unfortunately,
most social indicators have continued to fall, as evidenced
by the recent drop in net registration rate in primary
schools, the rate of births attended by medical staff, and
the use of external medical consultations. |
