For non Bank staff, please RSVP to infoshopevents@worldbank.org The Health Sector and Transitional Policy and Funding Gap: A Question of Aid Effectiveness
Petra Vergeer, KIT The paper focuses on the current aid architecture as it pertains to the health sector in post conflict countries. The aim is to build up a stronger evidence base regarding real or potential transitional funding gaps, with special attention to the determinants of transitional funding for the health sector. Health System Reconstruction and State-building Jack Eldon, HLSP This paper examines whether rebuilding health systems strengthens the social contract between state and society and contributes to state-building. It explores whether health service delivery signals the will and capacity of the state to act on behalf of citizens in a responsive and accountable manner, and whether the planning, management and delivery of health services contributes to capacity development beyond the health sector.
