SciDev.Net reports on Forum 2012, an international meeting to take place in Cape Town, South Africa, in April, which "aims to shake up donor-recipient relations in a quest for more enduring health gains." The meeting, themed "Beyond Aid," "will consider a funding model in which poor countries develop their own contracts and partnerships, and use their own resources, and how donors can support that model rather than just provide development aid," the news service writes.
