Abstract: This paper discusses shifts in development assistance for health (DAH) since 1990, analyses the nature of the current distribution of funding, and considers future implications. Based on Jamison et al. (1998) and Frenk and Moon (2013), we introduce an 'essential functions' framework, which provides a function-based taxonomy for global collective action in health, and apply that framework to several prominent actors and modalities for DAH.
