This paper reviews government expenditure and the feasibility of meeting spending targets in particular sectors central to social and economic development. Government spending on key development sectors is falling short of spending targets in many developing countries. Even total government expenditure would not, in most cases, be enough to meet the agreed spending targets. A silo approach to sector financing means that development sectors compete for resources and this has the potential to undermine good public finance management.
