The Committee recommends that: . The National Departments of Education and Health should expedite the process of eradicating mud schools and clinics as the slow pace of doing this hinders provision of the other basic services that are designed to improve the lives of the poor, including provision of electricity, water and sanitation. . The Department of Basic Education should improve the coordination and distribution of budget allocation to schools and this should be prioritized at the beginning of each year. . Transparency and accountability should be strengthened when the Provincial Departments addresses issues in the priority list from district levels, so as to avoid confusion.
