From Whom to Whom? Official Development Assistance for Health
Second edition 2000-2010
Health is directly represented in three of the eight MDGs (Goals 4, 5, and 6), and makes an acknowledged contribution to the achievement of others, in particular, those related to the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, education, and gender equality. Goal 8 recognizes the need for solidarity by the international community for achieving results.
This report responds to increased calls for enhanced and broadened accountability
around ODA beyond «financial accountability» i.e. recipient countries making an
honest and accurate accounting of how funds have been used. It also goes beyond
being able to demonstrate immediate tangible results on investments.
