Regional meeting on health system governance and community participation in health
CEHURD, in partnership with the Learning Network for Health and Human Rights (South Africa), and with support from International Development Research Centre (IDRC), is implementing a project titled, Health system governance: Community participation as a key strategy for realizing the right to health. The project is a pilot study implemented in Kiboga and Kyankwanzi districts in central Uganda.
The project aims to develop models for community participation in health that advance health equity and strengthen governance systems for health by testing approaches and sharing experience gained in the project area using a rights-based approach to health and build the agency of community structures to articulate more strongly claims for health rights, with a view to proposing models for best practice.
