This study focuses on how donor–recipient relations could be better deliberated, negotiated and coordinated. The authors argue that effective leadership and governance of developing country health systems for HIV/AIDS work requires a reconfiguration of how donor–recipient relations are conceived and contracted. For this purpose, they propose an adaptation of the wording of the OECD Paris Declaration principles of aid effectiveness. They present a conceptual framework which they argue can be regarded as an HIV/AIDS funding leadership default setting.
Contrary to high expectations from reading the title and abstract, I was rather disappointed by the content of the article. It is very theoretical and the proposed conceptual framework… very conceptual indeed.
