About the book
A World Bank study of health, education and social services in the ARMM, the country's poorest region. It argues that better human development is needed for peace and growth in Muslim Mindanao.
This World Bank study, by Teresa J. Ho, sets out the state of human development in the ARMM in 2003. It asks why outcomes were so poor, and how far public and private services eased or worsened them.
The study names 3 main causes of the region's large gaps in basic education and health: extreme poverty, conflict and historical disadvantage. It looks in depth at the education sector, the health system and social protection. It asks why the ARMM lagged other regions, and what could be changed with the money available and under the political and social conditions of the time.
It ends with recommendations on public spending levels and on actions for each sector.
