“……Donor funding, from governments and multilateral organizations,
constitutes a major component of the global financial response for health
in low and middle-income countries. As such, tracking these resources is an
important element for assessing progress on global health, including toward
meeting internationally agreed-upon health targets, such as the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), and fulfillment of donor commitments, such as
pledges to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global
Fund).****

This report provides an analysis of Official Development Assistance (ODA)
disbursements for the Health sector provided by donors between 2002 and
2010, as reported to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) by Development Assistance Committee (DAC) member
governments and multilateral organizations, and serves to complement
efforts by others in the field.****

Analyses of donor funding take on additional relevance in the current
climate, due to continued financial uncertainty in the wake of the global
economic crisis.

While 2010 is the most recent year for which standardized donor data,
disaggregated by sector, are available, several other analyses provide an
indicator of how it may fare in 2011 and beyond.  For example, the OECD
recently reported that overall ODA in 2011 declined and is expected to
remain stagnant for the foreseeable future…..”****
