| description |
Eritrea is one of the poorest countries
in the world, with an average annual per capita income of
US$ 200 in 2006, and ranks 157th out of 177 countries in the
2005 human development index. Rain-fed agriculture, the
predominant economic activity for more than half the
population, is a very risky enterprise and food security
remains one of the government's main concerns. Given
the security situation the government is concerned about
fiscal transparency for national security reasons, but has
provided access to fiscal data for a review of the education
and health sectors. There have been significant improvements
in access to education since independence, and improving the
skills of the labor force remains critical for
Eritrea's long term development. Eritrea's public
resource allocation to education has increased rapidly and
at 6.7 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2005 is
slightly higher than many countries in the Africa Region.
There has been a rapid expansion in tertiary education
following investments in 2005 to provide an additional five
colleges. The general health status of Eritrea has greatly
improved since independence. |
