The document discusses the importance of budget analysis for children in India. It notes that 19% of the world's children and 42% of India's population are children in India. However, India ranks poorly on indicators of children's well-being. The document outlines what a "budget for children" aims to capture, and analyzes trends in India's union budget allocations for children from 2000-2007, finding the shares allocated to education, health, development and protection, as well as differences between budget estimates and actual expenditures. It also discusses children's budgeting efforts at the state level in several Indian states.
HAQ: Centre for Child Rights has come out with it's annual analysis of Budgets for Children. The share of children in the Union Budget 2016-17 goes up to 3.32% showing a slight increase from 3.26% in the last years Budget 2015.

"The education and health sectors will also receive substantial funds. In 2007-08, I propose to enhance the allocation for education by 34.2 per cent to Rs.32,352 crore and for health and family welfare by 21.9 per cent to Rs.15,291 crore."

There are over 44 crore children (0-18 years) in India who constitute more than 40 % of the country’s population. Of these, 22 crore are between the age of 6-14 years. Needless to say, development programmes that are meant for the society as at large are also going to benefit children, as they will to all other sections of society. However, from time-to-time the government makes special commitments towards children. A Budgetary analysis is an effective tool for reconciling child specific governmental policy and programme commitments with financial commitments made for the same. Indeed, are we putting our money where our mouth is?

Almost 40 per cent persons in India are children. On 10 July 2014, the new BJP Government presented its first budget, popularly being called the NAMO Budget.
Unfortunately, despite a letter to the Finance Minister on 23 June 2014 highlighting the areas of concern for children that require his attention, there was little attention paid to them.

HFG Indonesia Strategic Health PurchasingHFG Project
The purpose of HFG Indonesia’s work in SHP was to support the National Council for Social Security (DJSN) establish a participatory process, supported by locally driven analytics, to assess the current institutional and regulatory foundation for strategic purchasing under JKN and propose options to improve this foundation as part of an upcoming revision of the presidential decree governing JKN implementation. The activities were implemented through a SHP Technical Working Group (TWG), which was supported by an analytical review of regulations supporting strategic purchasing in JKN completed by a researcher from the University of Gadjah Mada (UGM) and supporting capacity-building sessions for the institutions participating in the TWG.

Presentation during the Institutionalizing Community Health Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, on March 28th, 2017. This presentation gives an overview of Community-based Health Insurance (CBHI), and explores country experiences and lessons with CBHI in Rwanda, Ghana, and Senegal.
HFG began working in Namibia in 2013, closely partnering with the Namibian Ministry of Health and Social Services and going on to collaborate with key government agencies, such as the Namibian Social Security Commission and the Universal Health
Coverage Advisory Committee of Namibia. The overarching aim of our technical assistance has been to support Namibia’s progress toward UHC to ensure all can access necessary, quality health care without financial struggle. We emphasized a government-led and -owned approach as we supported the Namibian government in addressing some of the key challenges it faced at the start of the project.
HFG’s support has helped strengthen the government’s capacity to mobilize and manage resources; improve efficiency, quality, and equity of health services; expand access to health care; sustain key health interventions, especially the HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment program; and, ultimately, identify sustainable financing for UHC. We provided technical support to the Namibian government’s Health Accounts team, equipping them with tools and know-how to lead and implement four Health Accounts exercises and analyze and present data for better policy analysis and evidence-based decision making. Our support has helped institutionalize Health Accounts in Namibia and provided the country’s policymakers with evidence to examine health financing options for UHC, advocate for greater resources, and explore financial risk protection options.
Strengthening the larger health system and generating fiscal space through improved efficiency of health services was another important goal for HFG.
Findings of the health facility costing and district hospital efficiency study we undertook will enable the government to identify where it can save resources, how it can improve equity in service distribution, and what Namibia’s total financing requirement is for UHC.
This report highlights some of the major contributions HFG and its key partners have made toward more efficient use of limited health resources, improved sustainability of
health programs, and progress toward UHC in Namibia.

There are over 40 crore children (0-18 years) in India—more than 40 per cent of the country’s population. Of these 19 crore are between 6-14 years. They are all our young citizens. Needless to say, development programmes that are meant for the society as a whole are also going to benefit children, as they will to all other sections of society. However, from time-to-time the government makes special commitments to children. Budget analysis enables us to assess how far the policy and programme commitments made specifically to children and the goals set for them by the government are translated into financial commitments. Indeed, are we putting our money where our mouth is? After all the budget of any country is a reflection of its political and economic priorities.

Our Government is firmly committed to inclusive growth, which means higher welfare and better quality of life. Welfare means providing two square meals a day for those who are starving, shelter to a person who is homeless, employment to those who are in penury. Welfare means providing congenial atmosphere for basic education to every child and providing essential medical facilities to a common man to lead a healthy life...In consonance with the 11th Five Year Plan priorities, Education and Health are being given substantial hike in allocation. During the year 2008-09, an amount of Rs.1771 crores is being apportioned for education which is 115 % higher than the current year. Likewise, Health is being allocated an amount of Rs.1315 crores, 73% higher than the current year allocation…

Budget for Children (BfC) is an important document which undertakes a critical analysis of the state budget in the context of the needs of the children of the state. For this, those schemes from the State Annual Budget which are directly related to the benefi t of children are selected and segregated. An effort is made to review how far the Government has kept the promises and commitments it has made to protect the rights of children.

In any country, more so, in developing countries like ours, budgets play a very crucial role in allocating scarce resources among many competing demands to eventually enhance the human development index and per capita income…The ultimate objective of good governance is to empower every section of the population so that they can lead a decent life…I am happy that we have not only delivered on all the promises that we made in our successive policy documents presented in the Governors’ addresses, but have also met all the targets set out in the National Common Minimum Programme (NCMP)…

It is a well recognizing fact that the budget of any state government cannot merely be a statement of the account of that government, rather a platform signaling the government’s vision and future policy priorities. Therefore, it was felt worthwhile undertaking the state budget analysis in order to trace the underlying budgetary provisions and policy priorities of the state government especially towards the most disadvantaged section of our society, that is, children.

Children in any society constitute the most vulnerable group which needs ‘protection’ and is a responsibility of the state as well as the members of the society. Despite some commendable efforts and achievements of the Indian state, it is an explicit fact that the majority of children in India are suffering, deprived of basic resources and needs for an average human existence. Due to their own incapacity to fight for their rights, the ‘unprotected child’ in India is a collective failure of the Indian.

Budget for Children (BfC) is not a separate budget. It is merely an attempt to disaggregate from the overall budget, the allocations made specifically for programmes that benefit children. From 2000-01 to 2006-07, children received an average of 3.10 percent of the Union Budget. In 2007-08 their share was 4.8 per cent.

For the Indian economy, this was a year of recovery interrupted. When one year ago, I rose to present the Budget, the challenges were many, but there was a sense that the world economy was on the mend. The Budget was presented in the first glimmer of hope. But reality turned out to be different. While I believe that there should be no room for complacency, nor any excuse for what happens in one’s own country, we will be misled if we ignore the ground realities of the world…..

HAQ: Centre for Child Rights is grateful to all the child rights groups who showed their interest and willingness to participate in the National Consultation on “Children & Governance: In the Context of Federalism and Devolution”. The Consultation was very timely as it coincided with the ongoing debate on implementation of the Fourteenth Finance Commission Recommendations. This debate has also been triggered due to the suddenness with which these recommendations have been brought into and voices of discomfort being around these recommendations raised by some of the significant States.

Delhi, Capital of India and the second largest city in India, lies at an altitude of between 213 and 305 meters and covers an area of 1,485 square kilometers. According to the 2011 Census, Delhi’s total population has gone up to about 16 million against 13 million in 2001 census. Th e density of population per sq. km. is about 11000. Th is fi gure is alarming as it beats the density of any other states by a huge margin. Delhi’s total child population of 0-6 yers age group in 2011 census is 1,970,510. The state has an economic growth rate of about 20 per cent which slightly exceeds the national growth rate of about 17 per cent. Th e literacy rate in the state is about 86 per cent; a fi gure that has always been high due to the city being the country’s capital and home to some of the most important educational institutions. While Delhi ranks 24th out of 29 States in the national ranking for sex ratio, there are other concerns related to child well being as well in the national capital. In the year 2008–2009, the net enrolment ratio at primary and middle level schools were reported to be 90.6 per cent and 70.5 per cent respectively whereas drop-out rate at primary and middle level schools were reported to be 0.0 per cent and 23.5 per cent respectively

Budgets are the most solid expression of a government’s priorities, performances, decisions and intentions both at the national as well as the level of the states. This budget for children (BfC) in Meghalaya analysis is an attempt to understand the financial priorities of the government in regard to its commitments for the children in the state. The question being asked is how far has the Government been able to keep its promises towards the rights of the children through adequate budgetary provisions in the 2015-2016 state budget?

Nineteen per cent of the world's children live in India. At 450 million, they comprise 42 per cent of the country's total population. Although 17 years have passed since India ratifi ed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1992, promising to place child rights and programmes at the forefront of its development agenda, children in India are not any closer to attaining even the basic rights. Meanwhile, India has moved from being a poverty-stricken low-income country to one of the six emerging giants. Th e average Indian’s per capita income has more than doubled from Rs 11,535 in 1990-91 to Rs 31,821 in 2008-09.
