“……Donor funding, from governments and multilateral organizations, constitutes a major component of the global financial response for health in low and middle-income countries. As such, tracking these resources is an important element for assessing progress on global health, including toward meeting internationally agreed-upon health targets, such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and fulfillment of donor commitments, such as pledges to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund).’’’’
This report provides an analysis of Official Development Assistance (ODA) disbursements for the Health sector provided by donors between 2002 and 2010, as reported to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) by Development Assistance Committee (DAC) member governments and multilateral organizations, and serves to complement efforts by others in the field.’’’’
Analyses of donor funding take on additional relevance in the current climate, due to continued financial uncertainty in the wake of the global economic crisis.
While 2010 is the most recent year for which standardized donor data, disaggregated by sector, are available, several other analyses provide an indicator of how it may fare in 2011 and beyond. For example, the OECD recently reported that overall ODA in 2011 declined and is expected to remain stagnant for the foreseeable future…..”‘‘‘‘
