(silver medal of the All Africa Games in 2011) and table tennis (gold medal at the African Championship of 2007). However, it would be justified to consider these meritorious results as "the tree that hides the forest" because they are not really the result of a concerted and systematic national policy. As evidence, one should simply refer to the resources that the state dedicates to this sector. According to the PND 2012-2016, "an emphasis should be placed on the development of human capital with the strengthening of the education system and improving the health system, which is a specific objective but also an effective and necessary means in order to improve the development of other sectors. " This formulation already reflects a rather narrow view of the concept of "human capital development" in that it expressly restricted the education and health, ignorant indeed of other components such as social affairs, Culture / sport / leisure, and advancement of women. This vision is reflected in the allocation of public funds: while all social sectors are already very poorly funded with an average of only 23.39% of total public expenditure between 2008 and 2011, almost all (20. 67%) of this amount goes to education and health, and social affairs, culture / sport / leisure and the advancement of women sharing the remaining 2.72%. Table 35: Social sectors budget as a percentage of total state expenditures and percentage of GDP (average 2008-2011) Sub-sector Education Health Social affairs Women All Culture advancement and Sports % State 12.1 08.36 0.84 0.1 23.39 1.72 % GDP 2.31 1.63 0.1 0.04 4.56 0.45 Source: Standing Committee on macroeconomic and budgetary framework (CPCMB) The Culture and Sports sector is very poorly funded with 1.72% of the national budget and 0.45% of GDP between 2008 and 2011. Not only is this allocation lean, but it is first and foremost spent (up to 60 %) on operations, and on the other hand, it does not show the -likely minimal- share that is dedicated to children. It should be noted that, according to projections of the PND, it is the only social sector that will experience a noticeable increase in its relative share of public spending, doubling between 2008 and 2016. 7.2. Situation analysis Faced with the failure of the State contribution, activities related to culture, sport and recreation of children are mainly supported by children and young people themselves with the support of families, communities and formal and informal partners. Thus, thanks to the support of the French cooperation, the Public reading project set up 56 libraries in the country with a total holdings of about 30 000 books. These libraries for a wide audience, especially for school-age children, are divided as follows: 6 departmental, 3 municipal, 22 parishes, 16 associations and 9 schools. The project also provided training for 358 officers managing these libraries. 98
