Isi artikel

Nancy Birdsall (2008) has described Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) as being guilty of “seven deadly sins.” Her critique exposes many weaknesses of the international aid system. How applicable are these “sins” to development assistance for global health? How do we make sense of the contradictions regarding the value and utility of ODA and the critiques of how it operates? And, most importantly, how might “we” do better? This chapter explores the nature of foreign aid, as it relates to global health, and seeks to assess its value(s) and constraints. The chapter is structured around four key elements: (a) trends in overseas development assistance for health; (b) motivations and infl uences on aid; (c) an assessment of current aid structures and approaches and (d) emerging issues, considerations and recommendations.
