Development Assistance for Health at a Crossroads: Navigating Aid Cuts, Fragility, and Financing Trade-offs for Universal Health Coverage
Global health financing is at a turning point. With DAH projected to decline by at least 20% from 2025, low-income and fragile states face acute risks to essential health services — from HIV and maternal health to supply chains and health information systems.
Join us for a webinar bringing together researchers and practitioners to explore the evidence: What do we know about the impact of DAH on health outcomes? What can country experiences like Nigeria tell us about navigating these shifts? And what financing trade-offs must be made to keep UHC within reach?
The Webinar will be moderated by Peter Binyaruka (Ifakara Health Institute) and will be featuring presentations by Newton Chagoma (University of Birmingham), Jacopo Gabani (World Bank), Felix Obi (Results for Development, Nigeria), Sakshi Mohan (University of York), and Sophie Witter (Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh).
