Abstract

The Gambia is a small country in West Africa that depends on tax revenue to fund her financial obligations and needs. In 2024, The Gambia hosted the second largest world gathering the OIC summit. Over the years, The Gambia was preparing for this event, and it incurred a lot of capital spending on infrastructure and other key areas. This research assesses the impact of fiscal policy (government spending) on the economy of the Gambia from 2010 to 2020. We obtained a time series data on GDP, Government expenditure, Tax revenue, export and Inflation and use OLS estimation to ascertain the relationship between Government expenditure and tax revenue of GDP Growth of The Gambia. Our findings shows that Government expenditure and tax revenue are significant contributors to GDP Growth in The Gambia from 2010 to 2020 and they are positively correlated to GDP Growth. Our findings also showed that export and inflation were not significant in the model. There is a limitation to our research due to unavailability of data, we were only focus from 2010 to 2020 future researcher on this domain can try expanding the period to see clearer picture of the relationship of fiscal policy variables on GDP Growth.

Abstract

This paper assesses the impact of public spending on education and health on life expectancy in five countries: Germany, Japan, India, Brazil, and South Africa, using data from 2010 - 2021 from WDI. The methodology involves descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and visual representation. The dependent variable is life expectancy, while education and health expenditure (as a percentage of GDP), along with GDP per capita, are the independent variables. Findings show a statistically significant positive relationship between health spending and life expectancy, particularly in high-income countries such as Japan and Germany. However, education spending does not show any meaningful impact across the five countries. Country-specific interactions suggest varying points of efficiency in spending, with South Africa standing out as an outlier, showing high expenditure but poor outcomes, likely due to systemic health burdens. The study concludes that health spending has a more direct and meaningful impact on longevity than education spending within the years of study. Policy recommendations emphasize increasing health investment, improving the efficiency of healthcare delivery, and enhancing education to indirectly support health outcomes. Limitations include sample size and omission of other socio-economic variables such as disease burden, healthcare access, and governance quality.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the accountability of Village Budget (APBDes) management in realizing good governance in Sandingrowo Village, focusing on the accountability dimensions of honesty and law, processes, programs, and policies. The background of the research was based on the findings of irregularities in village funds, including the alleged corruption of village treasury land auction funds in 2023, which showed non-compliance with the principles of accountability according to Mardiasmo (2018). The research method used a qualitative case study approach with seven informants. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that the accountability of APBDes management in Sandingrowo Village has been running quite well, although there are still some limitations. In terms of honesty and legal accountability, the village government applies transparency through the dissemination of public information, the use of banners, as well as the SISKEUDES application and the village financial website. However, community access to certain documents is still limited. In terms of process accountability, community participation in budget planning through hamlet and village meetings is considered effective. However, program accountability is still less than optimal, as seen from the misalignment between the activities implemented and the objectives set, as well as the lack of alternative program initiatives. Policy accountability is fulfilled through the preparation of accountability reports (LPJ APBDes, LPPD, LKPPD) that are submitted on time, although certain documents are not fully disclosed because they contain sensitive information.
