Politiques de Santé et Prestation de Services (HPS)
Coordination and Harmonisation of Partnerships and their support
The focus is on:
- Supporting countries in conducting stakeholder analyses.
- Supporting countries in developing and implementing planning and coordination mechanisms such as Sector-Wide Approaches (SWAps), Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Compacts.
- Providing support to countries in increasing their awareness on health policy analysis for evidence based policy formulation in the context of the overall country development policy. In all these areas, the HPS program has been providing technical support to countries generally through development of policy documents like guidelines, norms and standandards, providing direct technical support to countries in collaboration with other programs and partners where necessary and capacity building within the organisation and among national level planners and policy decision makers.
The Regional has increased the awareness of various partners in strengthening health systems for better health outcomes using a holistic approach based on the 6 building blocks that are interrelate and synergistic. The Regional Office is also playing a leadership role in coordinating the Harmonization for Health in Africa.
