010CHAPTER 12Education for All Global Monitoring ReportIncreased aidhas the mostimmediatepotentialfor increasingfiscal spaceconsequences for economic growth andgovernance, but there are no clear parametersfor sustainable aid levels. Using evidence fromrecent studies, the Development FinanceInternational assessment assumes thatcountries receiving aid levels that exceed 25%of gross national income have no space toincrease their aid dependence.These three pillars of sustainability cannot beviewed in isolation. Even if a country has scopeto gain access to more finance through borrowingor aid, it may decide not to exploit this fiscal spacebecause of the risk of macroeconomic instability.The fiscal space assessment therefore includeschecks for fiscal balance and inflation.Overall fiscal space is assessed in two steps.First, each country’s ability to obtain and useresources through each of the three instruments –debt, domestic revenue and aid – is determinedby reference to the thresholds. Countries belowall three thresholds are described as having highfiscal space. Countries constrained on oneindicator are classed as having moderate space,on two indicators as having low space and on allthree as having no space. The second step is toadjust the outcomes to reflect the two checkindicators. 7Table 1.2 shows the results. After adjustmentsfor fiscal deficits and inflation risk, five countrieshave no fiscal space. At the other end of thespectrum, four have high space and the optionto resort to all three financing instruments.Seventeen countries have ‘low space’ and eleven‘moderate space’, indicating scope to resort toone or two instruments, respectively. Furtheranalysis points to a diverse set of policy optionsthat depend on national circumstances andhighlights choices facing governments and theinternational community over what type ofresources should be made available to protecthigh-priority spending in education and otherareas (Figure 1.4).International aid. Twenty-five countries havethe fiscal space to use more developmentassistance, and eleven have no domesticalternatives. This implies that an increasein grant flows is the primary means open tolow-income African countries seeking to avoidcuts and sustain spending plans in high-prioritysocial sectors.Domestic revenue. Around fifteen countriescould raise more revenue on the basis of the17% of GDP norm, but seeking to raise revenuein the midst of a steep economic downturn islikely to damage recovery prospects.Borrowing. Between eleven and fourteencountries could borrow more withoutcompromising their overall public debtsustainability. When external and domesticdebt are looked at together, however, thescope for expansion is limited.A vital policy lesson can be drawn from thisassessment: increased aid has the mostimmediate potential for increasing fiscal space.Early action on a sufficient scale could provide thebudget resources needed to pre-empt potentiallydamaging public spending adjustments ineducation and other areas. It is critical to deliverthis aid before fiscal pressures convert thefinancial crisis into an irreversible long-termhuman development crisis, with attendantconsequences for progress in education.7. Here the assumptionis that a country can useaid but cannot borrowmore if its fiscal deficitexceeds 3% of GDP, sincethis could have damaginginflationary effects.Similarly, if a country hasreached the ‘acceptableeffort’ threshold forrevenue mobilization,increasing aid grantsmight push up inflation,whereas if it has scopefor revenue-raising,the inflation effects couldbe neutralized.Table 1.2: Fiscal space in sub-Saharan Africa, selected countriesHigh(4 countries)Mali, Rwanda, Uganda, UnitedRepublic of TanzaniaSource: Martin and Kyrili (2009).Moderate(11 countries)Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon,Central African Republic, Chad,Comoros, Lesotho, Madagascar,Mozambique, Niger, NigeriaLow(17 countries)Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Djibouti,Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea,Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Malawi,Mauritania, Sao Tome andPrincipe, Senegal, Sierra Leone,Sudan, Togo, ZimbabweNone(5 countries)Burundi, Democratic Republicof the Congo, Ghana, Liberia,Zambia30
