The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation's Financing Global Health 2012: The End of the Golden Age? report shows that after two decades of sustained, rapid growth, development assistance for health (DAH) has flat-lined. DAH peaked at a record high in 2010 and has not grown since. This plateau raises a number of new considerations for priority-setting and international health targets in the post-MDG era. Christopher Murray and Michael Hanlon will address implications of these financing trends for global health donors and recipient countries, as well as the potential for this work to inform how available funding can be better used to improve population health.
