What’s Next For Innovations in Global Health Financing? (CGD Edition)
This newsletter issue was originally published through the Center for Global Development .
This summer has been a busy time for global health policy.
In light of the?Lusaka Agenda , Sanjeev Gupta and I outlined?five ideas for the future of global health financing , emphasizing the need for a bull’s eye on domestic finance, deduplication of financing and procurement functions, and going diagonal with benefits packages.
In August, we revisited the “bread and butter ” of global health financing—donor co-finance and domestic finance—with Kalipso Chalkidou, the World Health Organization’s new director for health financing & economics (and former CGDer), followed by the need and opportunities for?financial innovations of global health funds ?in grappling with the sustainability of grants and debt, with Kalipso and Clemence Landers.?
A new blog with Sanjeev Gupta, Sun Kim, and Mark Plant explores the possible reasons why?countries are not using the IMF’s newly instituted Resilience and Sustainability Facility for pandemic funding , in light of the recent declaration of the mpox public health emergency.
Universal health coverage (UHC) remains high priority for development and global health leaders, with the announcement of a new UHC Knowledge Hub. We?strategized ?how this Hub can advance at least four key areas—benefits packages, political analysis for health reform, analytics for health financing, and assistance for knowledge generation and dissemination.?
As the summer comes to a close, we're delighted to share two new papers. The first examines the landscape of?pandemic financing ?for the?Disease Control Priorities Project, 4th edition . The second one examines?how much health aid is cost-effective, ?finding that 61 percent of all health aid projects have a cost-effective intervention listed.
As always, we’re grateful for your feedback, comments, ideas, and enthusiasm. Please reach out—we love hearing from you.?

2 个月Very nice blogs. And maybe another blog is needed on investments outside the health sector. With NCDs, neurological disorders and mental health disorders becoming very prominent in LMICs, investing only in the health sector will not get us very far. Ageing populations, chronic diseases and issues like social isolation and its impact on health require a complete rethink of health financing.

2 个月The article on Five ideas for the future on Global Health Financing is really insightful and informative. However, i would like to understand more about the diagonal approach for Health Benefit Packages. Is the diagonal approach for Health Benefit Packages focuses only on Cost-effective interventions or there are other elements as well?
