Official developpement assistance and health in the DRC : impact and lessons learned
Abstract
Health is one of the primary concerns of public authorities throughout the world. In recent years, studies on its determinants have multiplied, with, at the heart of the debate, the economic and social determinants that are supposed to guide policies. Among these determinants of health, this article focuses on official development assistance, which is studied econometrically, using the ordinary least squares method, in relation to life expectancy in the DRC, based on time series data from 1970 to 2015. The results show that the aid received has a significant but negative impact on the health of the population, pointing to a problem of institutional quality that may negate the impact of financial assistance.
English title: Aide publique au développement et santé en RDC : impact et leçons
La santé est l’une des premières préoccupations des pouvoirs publics à travers le monde. Depuis quelques années, les études sur ses déterminants se multiplient, avec, au cœur du débat, ceux économiques et sociaux sensés orienter les politiques. Parmi ces déterminants de la santé, cet article s’intéresse particulièrement à l’aide publique au développement dont il étudie économétriquement, grâce à la méthode des moindres carrés ordinaires, la relation avec l’espérance de vie en RDC, à partir des données chronologiques durant la période allant de 1970 à 2015. Il en ressort que l’aide reçue a un impact significatif mais négatif sur la santé de la population, présageant un problème de qualité des institutions qui peut annihiler l’impact de l’assistance financière.
