Ayuda para el desarrollo y salud: progresos e incertidumbres

Resumen

Este artículo presenta un análisis crítico de los métodos de evaluación de la eficacia de la ayuda para el desarrollo en el sector de la salud. La revisión de la investigación disponible revela que la gran incertidumbre existente respecto a la eficacia de la ayuda responde en buena medida a la indefinición de las cadenas causales objeto de evaluación. Para alcanzar conclusiones más precisas y fiables, se recomienda una evaluación desagregada y en contacto con las teorías del cambio diseñadas en las políticas de desarrollo.

Palabras clave:
