| Summary: | This study reviews: (1) how levels of
donor financing of the health sector in Somalia varied over
the decade 2000-09, (2) which health interventions were
prioritized by donors, and (3) how evenly health sector aid
was distributed to the different zones of Somalia. The
overall aim of the study was to create evidence for donors,
implementers, and health specialists involved in allocation
of financial resources to the Somalia health sector. The
results of the study are based on quantitative data
collected from 38 Development Assistance Committee (DAC)
donors and implementing agencies active in Somalia.
Quantitative data were collected between March and May 2007
and in March 2010, with response rates of 96 and 95 percent,
respectively. The report is organized in five chapters.
Chapter one provides the background to the study, along with
its aims and objectives, and contextualizes the study area,
Somalia. Chapter two provides the conceptual framework for
the research by looking at aid financing trends in
developing countries, in the health sector, in fragile
states, and in Somalia. Chapter three describes the
methodology, the data collection process, types of data
collected, and methodological limitations. Chapter four
presents the quantitative findings in terms of total health
sector aid financing, and expenditure by disease and by
zone. Chapter five offers conclusions linked to the four
primary study objectives and provides recommendations for
future funding. |
