First report on the use of PRA approaches to realign power and use of power between community representatives and health workers for better primary health care in Zambia : equity gauge Zambia, phase 2; 1st national TOT workshop, 2-7 Oct. 2006

Abstract

Some figures missingPrevious studies consistently show popular participation structures in health to be either low or absent at most health facilities. Work done as part of this phase of activities of Equity Gauge Zambia indicate that an underlying cause of poor performance is the disproportionate distribution and use of power at district levels, in implementation of primary health care activities. This report outlines how workshop activities were undertaken, the reflection and consensus participants reached. The sessions and exercises that aim at empowering stakeholders to facilitate participatory processes are contained in the manual that was produced for this workshop
