Purpose: This paper accounts for Government performance in the development of the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. The aim is to investigate the impact of government performance on school enrolment figure and state governments’ expenditures on health on the human development index of the region from the period, 1990-2018. Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper adopted the ex-post facto research design and made use of secondary data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and the World Bank Data. The population of the Niger Delta comprises forty million, six hundred and forty-five thousand, two hundred and five (40,645, 205) individuals in the region. The data obtained was statistically analysed using multiple linear regression. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22 was employed for the analysis of the study. Findings: The study found that with the huge revenue generated from crude oil and natural gas by the Nigerian Government from the Niger Delta region, the school enrolment figure and state governments’ expenditures on health do not have an impact on human development index on the development of the Niger Delta Region. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study has contributed to the body of knowledge through Accounting for government performance and development of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, using human development index, school enrolment figure and State governments’ expenditure on health as variables. The study recommends that Ministry of education, health and the State governments must work hard, in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in the education and health sector. The education and health budgetary allocations must be taken seriously and monitored thoroughly so as to ensure every kobo is accounted for. Maximum impact must be felt from whatever the government sets aside as the education and health budget and this could be seen to also improve the human capital development in the region. Finally, the State governments should also collaborate with the communities to implement good healthcare system and also quality education in the Niger Delta. The essence of this is not just to stop at the budgeting, but also to ensure full and accountable implementation of the health and education budget.

This article analyzes the overall and type of developmental impacts of remittances for migrant-sending households (HHs) in districts of Punjab, Pakistan. For this purpose, an HH-based human development index is constructed based on the dimensions of education, health and housing, with a view to enrich insights into interactions between remittances and HH development. Using high-quality data from a HH micro-survey for Punjab, the study finds that most migrant-sending HHs are better off than the HHs without this stream of income. More importantly, migrant HHs have significantly higher development in terms of housing in most districts of Punjab relative to non-migrant HHs. Thus, the government would need policy interventions focusing on housing to address inequalities in human development at the district-HH level, and subsequently balance its current focus on the provision of education and health.

However, the success of resource investment is also strongly influenced by the availability of supporting facilities and infrastructure. Based on data of physical and non-physical investments of government expenditure in education and health sectors from 2007-2017, shows a positive trend with relatively increasing value. Meanwhile, based on data of human development index progress in Pekanbaru city in recent years showed a relatively declining value. This contradicts the theory of endogenous romer which explained that when the government or private sectors invest in human resources, it will encourage the improvement of human resources quality that reflects the progress of human development index.

Due to a disparity in Human Development Index (HDI) among regencies and cities in Special Region of Yogyakarta, this study aimed to examine whether HDI convergence occurred in this province. The data were sourced from the Statistics of Special Region of Yogyakarta, including HDI, infrastructure, and gross regional domestic product in four regencies and one city from 2001 to 2019. The infrastructure consists of installed electricity, education, and health facilities. The results showed an absence of HDI convergence between regions in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Furthermore, HDI growth in the impoverished region was slower than in leading ones, resulting in a gap. The infrastructure gap made the impoverished region unable to catch up with leading ones, causing an HDI divergence. In contrast, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) has no impact on HDI. Therefore, the government needs to improve infrastructure in disadvantaged areas to increase HDI.
