Aid Effectiveness in Global Health: How to Realize Global Health Goals (2 Chapters)
Springer
This book looks at practical ways to improve the effectiveness of development assistance in global health. With the advent of the Millennium Development Goals in 2000 and the next “Sustainable Development Goals,” monitoring of global health indicators has shown where the inequities are, where people die and where development assistance programs have worked and failed.

This book looks at practical ways to improve the effectiveness of development assistance in global health. With the advent of the Millennium Development Goals in 2000 and the next “Sustainable Development Goals,” monitoring of global health indicators has shown where the inequities are, where people die and where development assistance programs have worked and failed. Now in spite of deficiencies, development assistance in health has achieved encouraging and important progress in the last 20 years: AIDS prevention treatment programs have spread, infant and child mortality have gone down and malaria and tuberculosis are being treated with more effective treatment regimes. Still, with budget cuts and global economy slowdown, urgency to improve development aid to achieve more, in faster and more cost-effective and sustainable ways has become imperative. Every strategy must be questioned and every dollar must be invested in the most cost-effective way. Aid effectiveness is now the standard in the practice of global health. It is also now the responsibility of everyone working in the field to demonstrate effectiveness and this book will show you how.
From country leaders in developed and developing countries to humanitarians, billionaire philanthropists, missionaries, health professionals, health educators, advocates, donors, political leaders, administrative authorities, global health students, and communities themselves, the practice of effective development assistance in global health is now in all our hands. The book serves as a practice and training guide to all global health practitioners and an operations manual to develop a global health program that achieves more and raises the bar in the practice of development assistance services.Other authors -
