Abstract
The main purpose of this work is to
develop a case study assessing the recent patterns and
impacts of ODA (official development assistance) and DAH
(development assistance for health) to Liberia on overall
government spending and domestic revenue generation as well
as domestic government health spending. Specifically, the
study will examine the recent flows of ODA and DAH resources
into the country and test whether it is possible to
determine the degree of fungibility in domestic budgetary
expenditures and revenues, overall, as well as in domestic
health budgetary spending and receipts (from internal and
external sources) as a result of (or due to) ODA and DAH.
The study will distinguish between targeted/earmarked aid
and general budget support, and will attempt to distinguish
commitments from actual disbursements (both for DAH and for government).
