Right to health in conflict situations 2013, para. 64
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Lack of transparency and accountability in health programming and governance in conflict also undermines confidence between affected populations and States, impeding attempts to better provide and protect health services in conflict-affected areas and preventing accurate assessments of aid allocation. This can increase the risk of further violations and the difficulty of remedying them. In particular, lack of transparency and accountability discourages aid to conflict areas, depriving devastated health systems of much-needed funding. Conflict-affected countries receive 43 per cent less aid than countries with similar development needs, with increased risks of misappropriation and monitoring difficulties being two reasons for this disparity.
