Addressing global health challenges requires harmonised and innovative approaches to the development assistance for health

Abstract

⇒ With an estimated funding gap of US$2.5 trillion to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in developing countries and with the ongoing trends of austerity, mobilising the resources of the private sector is important and new mechanisms of regulation and monitoring need to be established sooner than after.⇒ The current allocation pattern of the development assistance for health exhibits a mismatch between funding flows and disease burden across regions and health focus areas, and with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic this allocation pattern requires re-examination.⇒ Capacity building and provision of public and private goods are the two main ways to implement the development assistance for health, and while the former is receiving unstable funding, the latter is faced with excessive demands, along with limited resources.⇒ Collective efforts from all stakeholders are required to deal with these challenges, and harmonisation and innovation must guide the work in each aspect and every link of the development assistance for health.
