Country Education Expenditure Profile: Benin Data extracted from the World Bank Education Expenditure Database
Data Source and Notes The Benin Country Education Expenditure Profile highlights a few of the hundreds of indicators available in the World Bank Education Expenditure Database. The database allows users to search for education expenditure data published in World Bank expenditure documents. The data for the Benin Country Expenditure Profile was extracted from Benin’s 2004 Public Expenditure Review. The Benin Country Expenditure Profile is an example of the types of analysis that can be completed using the World Bank Education Expenditure Database. Note: The data in the World Bank Education Expenditure Database are not internationally comparable because there is no standard method of calculation for most of the indicators. Users should not compare the data across countries.

The tertiary share has been rising. • Half of all of Benin’s expenditures go to salaries and around 20% go toward capital expenditures.
Total Education Expenditures in Benin • Total expenditures on education in Benin almost doubled between 1998 and 2003 from 40 to 75 billion CFAF. • The share of total public expenditures for the education sector initially dropped from 20.4% in 1998 to 19.7% in 2000 and 2001 before rising to 22.1% in 2003.
