Aid Effectiveness and Health

In preparation for the Accra High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness (to be held in September 2008 and cosponsored by the Government of Ghana, the OECD-DAC and the World Bank), the OECD DAC and the Task Team have established the mandate to monitor progress in the aid effectiveness by using health as a tracer sector.  This has now been formalized and is part of the OECD DAC project plan.

A task team established by the World Bank, WHO, UNICEF, UNAIDS and the Global Fund with the advice of partner countries (including  representatives from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Ghana) was mobilized in order to organize a roundtable meeting on health, education and infrastructure and produce an outcomes report on Health and Aid Effectiveness in advance of the High Level Forum in September.The Task Team .

Collaboration with the WHO and WB on a joint work programme for "health as a tracer sector" focuses on:

1::  developing the evidence-base on aid effectiveness;
2::  identifying donor constraints for providing long-term sustainable financing in health;
3::  strengthening the link between aid effectiveness and health systems development; and,
4::  strengthening global accountability mechanisms.
