| Additional information: This Policy Brief examines trends in development finance, drawing on the
experience of Ghana’s health sector. It finds that, even for “donor darlings”, where aid accounts for a large percentage of GDP, new sources of finance have become a credible alternative to Official Development Assistance (ODA). This has important
policy implications. Though new sources of finance may have increased the overall financial envelope, they have also brought monitoring and co-ordination challenges. |
