Chapter 3 | Page 137 that costing exercises that examine the amount of money spent on a particular area may not be complete without a proper assessment of affordability.181 This is related to the impact of revenue generation on other areas as well as tradeoffs on the expenditure side. These ESC rights monitoring tools and indicators can be used to assess progress towards progressive realisation over time and can provide information about the extent of rights enjoyment as well as yardsticks to compare progress among countries. Various issues and challenges relevant to the question of resource governance and the domestic policy variables that are applicable in maximising the resource mobilisation and allocation efforts will be covered in greater detail in Chapter 8. 3.6 CONCLUSIONS The model of ‘maximum available resources’ presented in this chapter incorporates multiple dimensions and elements associated with maximising the mobilisation, allocation and governance of resources for ESC rights. This cross-disciplinary framework encompasses the economic and public policy stances of the State that are necessary for resource optimisation. The chapter has outlined existing views on the concept of ‘maximum available resources’ and identified the key role of public sector resources in creating an environment in which ESC rights realisation and enjoyment can become a reality. Existing definitions of ‘maximum available resources’ are inadequate to the task of fully appreciating the complexity of issues surrounding resource mobilisation and allocation and the full responsibility of the State. Moreover, the current definitions of State resources often disregard many crucial economic dimensions of actual and potential State resources. 181 Anderson and Foresti, above n 178, 473.
