European aid and health system strengthening : an analysis of donor approaches in the DRC, Ethiopia, Uganda, Mozambique and the Global Fund
type: CreativeWork
description: In the field of international health assistance, there is a growing consensus on the limits of disease-specific interventions and the need for more health system strengthening. European donors are considered to be strong supporters of health system strengthening. Nevertheless, little is known about how their support translates into concrete policies at partner country level. Furthermore, as development cooperation is a shared policy between the EU and its Member States, it remains unclear to what extent European donors share a similar approach. Against this background, Lies Steurs analyses the European approach to international health assistance. The main focus of the research is on the partner country level, with chapters on the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Uganda and Mozambique. In addition, Lies also investigates the relation between European donors and the Global Fund.
