Research Paper
Recognising the growing global support for the implementation of different types of financial transaction taxes, Action for Global Health, and Netherlands-based NGO International Civil Society Support, commissioned a research paper 'CTL-for-Health/FTT-with-Health: Resource-needs Estimates and an Assesment of Funding Modalities' to clarify the scale of the financing gap that needs to be filled if the health-related MDGs are to be met and the different mechanisms that could be used to channel new resources for health through to developing countries.
This country briefing draws together the main findings gathered during AfGH’s visit to Uganda in February 2010 and provides recommendations to policy-makers and civil society. AfGH partners met with key stakeholders in the country, in particular, the Ugandan Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED). AfGH partners also interviewed key donors, Members of Parliament and civil society in the country.
