Foreign aid:First, jab more babies
As budgets are squeezed, donors and recipients should focus more on health
FOREIGN AID is shrinking.
Rich countries are cutting their budgets for helping the world’s poor, partly because they need to spend more on defence and partly because they suspect that aid does not work well.To make the best use of a smaller pot, aid agencies and recipients alike will have to prioritise.One of the best approaches would be to concentrate more on public health, and on funding mechanisms that have been proved to work.

在预算紧缩的情况下,捐助方和受援方应更加关注健康
对外援助正在缩减。
富裕国家正在削减用于帮助世界贫困人口的预算,部分原因是它们需要在国防上增加开支,部分原因是它们怀疑援助效果不佳。为了充分利用更少的资金,援助机构和受援国都必须分清轻重缓急。最好的方法之一将是更加关注公共卫生,以及关注已被证明行之有效的资助机制。
