Subject

Health aid effectiveness.

Significance

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages. To achieve this, there are subsidiary targets within the goal, notably achieving universal health coverage for all by 2030.

Impacts

• Investment in early disease detection and prevention have yet to be prioritised.
• Sustainable monitoring and evaluation systems that track the programme through the full funding cycle will proliferate.
• Large private donors risk creating unviable parallel health systems.
