Tracking official development assistance for reproductive health in conflict-affected countries: 2002-2011.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To provide information on trends on official development assistance (ODA) disbursement patterns for reproductive health activities in 18 conflict-affected countries.

Design

Secondary data analysis.

Sample

18 conflict-affected countries and 36 non-conflict-affected countries.

Methods

The Creditor Reporting System (CRS) database was analyzed for ODA disbursement for direct and indirect reproductive health activities to 18 conflict-affected countries (2002-2011). A comparative analysis was also made with 36 non-conflict-affected counties in the same 'least-developed' income category. Multivariate regression analyses examined associations between conflict status and reproductive health ODA and between reproductive needs and ODA disbursements.
