Editorial in Aftenposten on the Stoltenberg committee
In its editor's column on Tuesday 5th of November, Aftenposten writes that they are skeptical about whether the Stoltenberg Committee on Global Health's recommendation to increase the aid budget above 1% of GNI is the way to go. However, they stress the importance of other proposals from the committee, such as increasing support for cost-effective measures and increasing the share of the aid budget that goes to health initiatives.
