Resumen
Descripción
In recent years, the focus in many
developing regions is increasingly moving away from
communicable disease, where as Africa continues to face a
high burden of communicable disease, malnutrition, and
fertility. At the same time, the ways in which the World
Bank operates are changing - increasingly countries define
their own priorities, resources are provided through
programmatic approaches, and the Bank is focusing more on
sharing knowledge, policy advice, research and analysis.
This book takes an in-depth look at health, nutrition, and
population (HNP) challenges faced by Sub-Saharan Africa,
particularly how disease, malnutrition, and high fertility
affect poverty reduction. The authors contend that the World
Bank has a comparative advantage in contributing within four
broad areas: 1) macroeconomics and health, 2) multi-sectoral
action for health, 3) strengthening health systems, and 4)
financing service delivery. They also address the
opportunities and challenges within these four areas and
conclude with suggestions on how the Bank can better operate
within the sector and work effectively with partners.
