Gates funds global health monitor

Bill & Melinda Gates donate $105 million to evaluate which public health programs have the greatest impact and hence deserve more funding.

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington – the recipient of the grant – promises to collect and analyze global health data that have traditionally been neglected or difficult to evaluate, such as child mortality, and turn it into a high-quality comprehensive and comparable product.

From the market failure to the public failure this is a classical example of systematic transition in programme management.

It is amazing to see the marketization of the social provision and evaluation systems. While were waiting early for the human development reports, an alternative system has evolved through the market.

The ability of the market to purge the inefficiencies are truly great.
