The power and politics of scaling-up a health systems intervention: lessons from Uganda, Ghana and Malawi

 

Watch a recording of this session here. You can download the slide from the same page.

Many effective health systems interventions can contribute to achieving UHC, but scale-up remains a challenge. Scale-up is influenced by power and politics at the district, regional and national levels of the health system as well as individual and institutional incentives. This organised session provides lessons on effective scale-up design and implementation based on the team's experiences during PERFORM2Scale.

Jo Raven spoke about PERFORM2Scale's experiences and lessons in this panel discussion at HSR2022 in Bogota. The panel reflected on the meaning and practice of ‘learning sites’ to advance health policy and systems research and its application for system strengthening. The panel highlighted different experiences of learning sites on three continents, common challenges they faced (including differential power of the actors) and how these can be managed.
