Where to after Covid-19? Systems thinking for a human-centred approach to pandemics
The COVID-19 pandemic was the biggest public health crisis that the world experienced on a global scale in recent history. It exposed systemic weaknesses and fragilities in health, economic, political, environmental and social systems (Haley, Paucar-Caceres, and Schlindwein, 2021 ). Since the early days of the crisis, governments around the world sought evidence-based management strategies, turning to science to inform decisions (Yu et al., 2021 …
Preparing for pandemics needs a dose of public health and a booster of “complex thought” (Errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum)
The COVID‐19 pandemic has triggered unprecedented governmental responses worldwide, revealing weaknesses in health systems and public health policies due to lack of “complex thought” required to manage complex adaptive systems. Understanding COVID‐19 response strategies' multiple effects is particularly important now that pandemic preparedness and response (PPR) is on top of the global health political agenda. Here, we adopt a complex adaptive sy…
Which socio-economic groups benefit most from public health expenditure in Senegal? A dynamic benefit incidence analysis
Despite efforts to enhance public investment in Senegal's health sector, the equitable distribution of benefits between socioeconomic groups remains largely unexplored. To address this gap, our study examines the progressive (or regressive) nature of public health expenditure. Utilizing data from the latest survey on household living conditions (2018-2019) in conjunction with administrative data on health expenditure from the same period (provide…
Royal Society report
A recent report by the Royal Society examined the literature on the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) aimed at reducing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic. It emphatically concluded that they were 'effective', which we argue may be misleading to policymakers. This paper performs a critical analysis of the Royal Society report and explains what a proper evaluation of NPIs would mean, arguing that the…
Mandatory membership of community-based mutual health insurance in Senegal
With the low adherence to voluntary mutual health insurance, Senegal’s policymakers have sought to understand the feasibility of compulsory health insurance membership. This study aims to measure the acceptability of mandatory membership in community-based mutual health insurance (CBHI) and to understand its possible administrative modalities. The study consists of a national survey among a representative population sample selected by marginal qu…
Le financement basé sur les résultats (FBR) en Afrique
Le financement basé sur les résultats (FBR) dans le secteur de la santé est un modèle voyageur. En dépit de premiers écrits positifs, les preuves de son efficacité se sont érodées. En 2018, un article critique du FBR a suscité des réactions individuelles et collectives parfois virulentes. Nous analysons cette controverse à l’aide d’une analyse qualitative de ces discours. Il en ressort qu’aucun questionnement fondamental de l’approche du FBR n’es…
Key success factors of Mauritius in the fight against Covid-19
The COVID-19 response in Mauritius, which is viewed as a success story, benefited from strong leadership, highest political engagement, and strong involvement of the WHO, the private sector and other key stakeholders.Another key success factor lies in clear, transparent and consistent communication, including feedback mechanisms to understand public perception, the result of which is good adherence by the population.Public health measures (quaran…
Étude exploratoire de la pratique évaluative dans le domaine de la santé au Burkina Faso
This study provides a reflexive analysis of evaluative practice in the health sector in Burkina Faso. A sample of ten evaluations carried out in the health sector since 2011 was analyzed. The descriptive analysis shows that current evaluation practices vary very widely across the country. Most evaluation reports do not comply with international norms and standards in evaluation, in particular with regard to the definition of terms of reference an…

We shouldn’t count chickens before they hatch
Results-based financing (RBF) is subject to fierce debate and the evidence-base on its cost effectiveness is scarce. To our knowledge, only one cost-effectiveness study of RBF in a lower-middle income country has been published in a peer reviewed journal. That study – in Zambia – concludes that RBF is cost-effective, which was then uncritically repeated in an editorial accompanying its release. Here we would like to warn against readily accepting…
How is equity approached in universal health coverage? An analysis of global and country policy documents in Benin and Senegal
While equity is widely referred to in global and country-specific UHC policy documents, its multiple dimensions results in a rather rhetorical utilisation of the concept. Whereas equity covers various levels and types, many global UHC documents fail to define it properly and to comprehend the breadth of the concept. Consequently, perhaps, country-specific policy documents also use equity as a rhetoric principle, without sufficient consideration f…
Stakeholder Incentives and Aid Effectiveness – A Case Study in the Health District of Kayes in Mali
This case study analyses how far donors implement aid effectiveness principles at the health district level in Mali, and why. It shows that not all aid effectiveness principles are implemented at a similar degree. Most projects have limited impact on health services, but many programmes supported by donors offer positive opportunities for health system strengthening. The representations of different categories of stakeholders diverge – notably, r…
Aid for health in times of political unrest in Mali
Mali has long been a leader in francophone Africa in developing systems aimed at improving aid effectiveness, especially in the health sector. But following the invasion of the Northern regions of the country by terrorist groups and a coup in March 2012, donors suspended official development assistance, except for support to NGOs and humanitarian assistance. They resumed aid after transfer of power to a civil government, but this was not done in …
L'agenda de Paris pour l'efficacité de l'aide
Cet article présente, à partir des recherches, des enquêtes de terrain et de l’expérience professionnelle de ses auteurs, une critique du nouveau paradigme de l’aide publique internationale au développement (également appelé « Agenda de Paris »), fondé principalement sur l’adoption de cadre stratégique de lutte contre la pauvreté, sur l’utilisation de nouvelles modalités (approche sectorielle, aide budgétaire globale) et sur les principes d’appro…
Evaluating fair trade as a development project
This article identifies the need for an appropriate methodology for evaluating Fair Trade, given that most evaluations to date have been in-house or commissioned reviews and hence have not followed a consistent approach. Focusing on the development aspects of Fair Trade, the article reviews a range of impact evaluation methods and presents a detailed methodology for analysing Fair Trade. This methodology incorporates standard project evaluation c…
