Lord Nigel Crisp's report into how the UK can contribute to health in developing countries was published today online at the DOH website. The wide-ranging and comprehensive document is the result of consultations since May 2006.

Lord Crisp was invited to carry out the review by the Prime Minister as part of the commitments set out in the commission for Africa and the G8 Gleneagles summit in 2005. It finds a vast array of organisations, enthusiasm and work already being done in the arena of international development, but a need for greater coordination and strategic partnerships between these groups.

Alma Mata's global health directions surveys have been referenced in the report, along with two other articles by its members, in chapter 6 'The UK contribution - making it even more effective and sustainable'
