EXHIBIT 4. Development assistance for health relative to national income and health-specific targets, 2014–2016.

EXHIBIT 4

SOURCE Authors’ analysis of data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation 2016 development assistance for health database and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development online database. NOTES We calculated three targets for development assistance for health, each of which assumes that donors provide 0.7 percent of their gross national income (GNI) as official development assistance (ODA), as discussed in the text. The targets assume that 0.15 percent, 0.08 percent, and 0.04 percent, respectively, of the ODA is for health. These percentages represent the seventy-fifth, fiftieth, and twenty-fifth percentiles in the observed data (rounded to two decimal places from 0.14522 percent, 0.07617 percent, and 0.04368 percent, respectively). Our calculations used average values of development assistance for health and GNI across 2014–16.
