No matter how much capacity we build, coordination we strengthen or commitment we engender, the policy will not be implemented without adequate funding to do so. Many of the problems and challenges that countries face are most directly addressed through the government’s budget process. A country may want to ensure that all its children have access to high-quality education. The government can pass a law requiring that all children be enrolled in school, but if the budget doesn’t include funds to build schools, hire and train teachers and administrators, and provide logistics, there will be little chance of the enrollment requirement resulting in the desired outcome.
