Figure 7 Take Home Messages & Forward Look • ODA for health increased over the period analyzed, even after adjusting for inflation and exchange rate fluctuations • However, some important caveats: • Analysis based on most “recent” data available on health ODA – significant lag • Reflects budgeting decisions made prior to onset of current global economic crisis • Already shows slowing growth rate in health ODA • What lies ahead? Is caution about future donor assistance for health warranted? • On the one hand, donor attention to global health remains evident in post- economic crisis era - new initiatives launched, such as U.S. government’s GHI, G8’s Muskoka MNCH initiative, growing attention to MDG Review Summit in September • On the other, preliminary estimates from OECD predict limited overall ODA growth for 2009 – 2010, with mixed prospects among donors (ODA relatively flat in both nominal and real terms) • Important to monitor how health fares within this trend, including assessing other markers where possible, including • G8 fullfillment of commitments • ODA trends from larger donors • Global Fund replenishment • UN MDG Summit
