Of this, public expenditure is Rs.130 billion or slightly over or $ billion annually or less than one third of the total expenditure on human development, while private expenditure is Rs.300 billion or $ 5 billion annually. Private expenditure is dominated by household expenditure on water and sanitation, and health and to a lesser degree education.
Non-household private expenditure would be about Rs.30-60 billion annually mainly provided by philanthropic, charitable institutions, individual and corporate donations and endowments. In the last year 2003-04 the total public expenditure on education and health alone was Rs.112 billion. Thus the proposed target of Rs.130 billion is not unrealistic and can be easily achieved if the domestic and donor assistance are available.
