Aide au developpement et sante comme droit humain

Abstract

As health is more and more recognized as a « human right », we can wonder if this tendency leads to an important increase in foreign aid for health. We try to show that aid has been considered for a few years as a big stake for international security. This approach focused on security issues is a very narrow use of the concept of global public goods. As a consequence, infectious disease is the priority of health assistance and other sub-sectors generally considered pro-poor are loosing chare in health funding. This evolution raises questions about efficiency and ethics in the fund allocation. We outline a few perspectives for the use of a different theoretical background in the aid for health.
