Improving Aid Effectiveness in Global Health

• The only book to address the technical and practical aspects of
  delivering effective global health results
• Serves as a training guide to all global health practitioners
• Outlines more effective ways of working together, demonstrating tangible results towards common global health goals.

This direct, accessible guide uses a human rights perspective to define effectiveness in aid delivery and offer a robust framework for creating sustainable health programs and projects and assessing their progress. Geared toward hands-on professionals in such critical areas as food aid, maternal health, and disease control, it lays out challenges and solutions related to funding, planning, and complexity as individual projects feed into and impact larger health and development systems. Contributors clarify optimum roles of government, academia, NGOs, community organizations, and the private sector in aid delivery to inspire readers’ broader and deeper uses of teamwork, communication, and imagination. Throughout, the guiding principles of justice, equity, and respect that underlie foundational documents such as the Millennium Declaration inform this visionary work.

Included in the book:

• Assessing the effectiveness of health projects.
• Scaling-up of high-impact interventions.
• Aid effectiveness and private sector health organizations.
• When charity destroys dignity and sustainability.
