Donor Funding for Health in Low - and Middle - Income Countries, 2002-2010

Trends between 2002 and 2010 provide an indication of donor priorities and important shifts. For instance, the U.S. remained the largest donor to health in each year over the period and provided the greatest share of its ODA for health. Additionally, the donor mix has shifted over time, in part due to the entrance of new donors, particularly the Global Fund, which was created in 2002 and has been the second largest donor since 2006. The U.S. and the Global Fund combined accounted for more than half of total donor funding for health in 2010.
