July 22, 2009–Financing Global Health 2009 provides the most comprehensive picture available of the total amount of funding going to global health projects spanning two decades. It takes into account funding from aid agencies in 22 developed countries, multilateral institutions, and hundreds of nonprofit groups and charities. Prior to this report, nearly all private philanthropic giving for health was unaccounted for, meaning that nearly a third of all health aid was not tracked.
This is the first in what will become an annual publication providing valid and consistent time-series data for tracking global health resources and offering in-depth analyses in the following three areas: development assistance for health, government health expenditure, and private health expenditure. This first report focuses on development assistance for health…..”

Funding for health in developing countries has quadrupled over the past two decades - from $5.6 billion in 1990 to almost $22 billion in 2007, driven in large part by the growing influence of private donors, foundations and non-governmental organizations. Private contributions now make up 30 percent of the health assistance pie, with a full quarter of health assistance resources flowing through NGOs. These are the latest findings out of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington. The study, "Financing of global health: tracking development assistance for health from 1990 to 2007," appeared in the June 20th issue of The Lancet and is featured in a policy report out this month, providing the first-ever comprehensive picture of the total amount of funding going to global health projects.
