South Africa Budget Briefs 2019/20

Budget Allocation and Spending on Children in South Africa

Annually, UNICEF conducts a review – titled the “Budget Briefs” - of the main social sector budgets (basic education, social development and health) as well as the overall the national budget. The purpose of these budget briefs is to inform interested audiences on the spending trends and outcomes in each of these sector budgets. We believe that by providing up-to-date and accurate information, stakeholders can use the information for their own advocacy purposes and stay abreast of the most recent developments in their respective sectors.
