Abstract :

This study examined the link between health aid and economic performance for 48 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2001-2020 by employing a modified “EPI index” as a proxy for capturing economic performance with set of control variables and used System Generalized Method of Moments (system-GMM) econometric technique for analysis. The data were collected from the Africa Development Bank and World Bank Development Indicators (WDI). We infer that health aid has a positive and significant link with economic performance in SSA countries. Hence, donors and the government of sub-Saharan Africa must integrate appropriate measures toward sustaining the maximization of health aid and improved economic performance.
