Is aid effectiveness giving us better health results?

Clare Dickinson, July 2011

As the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness approaches, and with aid budgets increasingly under pressure, it is even more important to demonstrate the links between aid effectiveness and results.

This paper proposes a framework for a results chain that can be used to analyse the contribution of aid effectiveness processes in health. Based on the framework, it presents a rapid synthesis of the evidence to determine whether aid effectiveness processes are improving results in the health sector.
