| Summary | A need for transparent, fair, replicable processes and tools that could be used to direct global health funding, set priorities for investments, monitoring the distribution of funding in real time, and evaluate the impact of those investments, is now greater than ever before. In this course we will present a range of conceptual frameworks and tools that are available for priority setting, monitoring and evaluation of investments in global health and development that could be used by funders, managers, recipients and other stakeholders at the global, regional, national and sub-national level. We will present a number of original solutions to cost-effective investing in global health and development. We will also provide an assessment of the applicability and strengths of several tools developed by groups from the University of Edinburgh and beyond. |
