Résumé
The year 2015 and the formulation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) will be arriving at a time when changes in the ecosystem of official development assistance for health (DAH) are in full swing. The consensus for an ambitious "Health SDG" for 2030, targeting both diseases and health systems, precludes a status quo in the amounts of funding flows and makes it unlikely that the current structure of the DAH ecosystem will be maintained. The major unknown is how the existing model -- designed around and for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and which has proved highly effective for some of them -- will transition to a model that will ensure the universal health SDGs are achieved, but which is yet to be invented. In what direction does France wish to propel this reform and how does it envision the transition from one model to the other, in harmony with the models that the other development aid players foresee? The purpose of this Policy Brief is to gather some initial answers to these two questions.
