CGD's weekly Global Prosperity Wonkcast, event videos, whiteboard talks, slides, and more.
Funding for HIV/AIDS has increased massively in the past few years. But is the money being used in the best possible way? In this short clip, CGD experts Nandini Oomman and Mead Over describe the HIV/AIDS monitor initiative which analyzes how PEPFAR, The Global Fund, and the World Bank deliver aid. The initiative has pushed for greater information disclosure and has made an impact on HIV/AIDS aid effectiveness.
When President Obama created the Global Health Fund (GHI) in May 2009, health policy gurus welcomed it as a pioneering effort to make US involvement in global health more coherent, strategic and systematic. Two years later, there has been some modest progress but questions abound about how the initiative will take shape and deliver results.
Nandini Oomman, senior associate at the Center for Global Development, joins me on the Wonkcast this week to assess the GHI’s progress on its second birthday. Her mounting impatience is nicely summed up in a blog post she wrote about the anniversary: Happy 2nd Birthday to the U.S. Global Health Initiative: Next Time I Want a Goody Bag!
My guest this week is Nandini Oomman, director of the Center for Global Development’s HIV/AIDS Monitor. Her team has just released a new report, Zeroing In: AIDS Donors and Africa’s Health Workforce, which looks at how AIDS programs could be better designed to strengthen the capacity of nurses and doctors in developing countries. On the Wonkcast, Nandini and I discuss the report, and also explore the overall lessons learned from the HIV/AIDS Monitor, which is wrapping up its work this year after four years of operation.
