"This book takes an in-depth look at health, nutrition, and population challenges faced by Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly how disease, malnutrition, and high fertility affect poverty reduction. The authors contend that the World Bank has a comparative advantage in contributing within four broad areas: 1. macroeconomics and health, 2. multisectoral action for health, 3. strengthening health systems, and 4. financing service delivery."
