Overview
Mission
To energize globally the healthy and inclusive development of countries, families and individuals, including children and youth with fragile beginnings. We do so through policy translation and through providing support and advice to global and national leaders and communities on: * actionable policy, strategy and program advice, with a sharp focus on feasible solutions following evidence-based diagnostics * health systems strengthening, a multisectoral global development approach to health, as the cornerstone to achieve sustainable universal access to health care and other key programs and services to improve health outcomes, financial protection, dignity of care and inclusion
What it reported doing in 2024
Chd most significant program services are developing global assessment and providing technical advice on how to improve the effectiveness of development assistance for health (dah). Dah is the transfer of financial and in-kind resources from governments and private organizations in high-income countries to low- and middle-income countries to improve health. In that context, chd actively participates in technical and policy dialog, agencies as well as recipient countries on improving both dah effectiveness and health systems performance, such as improving the impact of dah on the health status of the population and financial protection and overall country socioeconomic development. Since its incorporation, chd has participated in active dialogue with donors and recipient countries on how to improve dah and health system performance and has developed an approach to assess the effectiveness of dah globally.more recently, in late 2023 we were awarded a grant by the new venture fund to conduct a project titled "twenty years of development assistance for health: what have we learned? What's the way forward?" the project's aim is to assess the performance of the last 20+ years of development assistance for health and make recommendations for the next 20 years. Development assistance for health (dah) is the transfer of financial and in-kind resources from governments and private organizations in high-income countries to low- and middle-income countries to improve health. While dah has grown over the last 20+ years, the funding environment much more competitive today. The global health community owes to the world and to itself a thorough stock-taking of what has been achieved. Knowing more about the impact of dah over the last 20 years will help inform how dah needs to evolve for the next 20 years.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
