Targeting Health Aid To Poor People
In the Center for Global Development's (CGD) "Global Prosperity Wonkcast," Lawrence MacDonald this week interviews Amanda Glassman, a CGD research fellow and director of the center's global health policy program. Glassman "offers four recommendations for how major health donors -- mainly the GAVI Alliance and the Global Fund -- could better-target aid to poor people," including "dropping country-income thresholds as the main criteria for allocating global health funding"; "setting up regional pooled procurement or pricing mechanisms"; "building evidence-based priority-setting institutions"; and "establishing increased accountability mechanisms," according to the blog (1/23).
