Millennium Development Goals

• Millennium Development Goals Report 2007: Assessing progress at midpoint to 2015
  2007, The United Nations
  The MDGs are still achievable if there is inclusive sound governance, increased public investment economic growth, enhanced productive capacity, and the creation of decent work. Rapid and large-scale progress towards the MDGs is feasible if we combine strong government leadership, good policies and practical strategies for scaling up public investments in vital areas with adequate financial and technical support from the international community and mutual accountability.

  National health accounts (NHA) provide a framework for capturing total health xpenditures in a country for a given year. NHA framework allows for additional stratification of funding flows by disease-specific areas (malaria, HIV/AIDS, and so forth): such subanalyses, particularly when done on a routine basis, move one step closer to linking spending patterns to actual health results.
