Contents of Development Assistance 
The MOH gives priority to infectious diseases control, and many donor agencies also 
assist in infectious diseases control, particularly the control of malaria and HIV/AIDS.   
Many donor agencies such as DFID, WHO, UNAIDS, and USAID assist HIV/AIDS 
control programs.   In addition to contributions to the health fund, DFID contributed 
20 million pounds as bilateral assistance from 2003 to 2006, and assists VCT activities 
carried out by NGOs, the expansion of surveillance and HIV/AIDS care by WHO, and 
the activities of the GAC though USAID. 
For malaria control, UNICEF, DFID and USAID assist in expanding the distribution 
activities of ITN, whereas WHO and the Dutch Embassy formulate pharmaceutical 
laws for anti-malaria drugs and promote appropriate medication. 
Among UN organizations, WHO and UNICEF focus more on technical cooperation 
than financial assistance.  UNAIDS coordinates HIV/AIDS control; and UNFPA 
assists in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission in the context of reproductive 
health.    Table 4.5 below shows assistance programs by donor.
