".....Strengthening health systems to improve public health results is
finally on the agenda of many global and bilateral players. We would
like feedback from developing country stakeholders from all sectors and
regions of the world about whether your needs are being addressed by
these initiatives and what are the gaps. Your input will help shape the
future of the Health Systems Action Network (HSAN). The 30 people
submitting the most relevant and constructive ideas will be invited to
participate in a 2-day meeting in Toronto, August 18-19 (all expenses
paid).

To be considered, prepare a short statement (50-100 words) that
addresses the following questions. Please focus your comments on issues
that a global network of country level stakeholders could contribute to
solving.

*          What suggestions do you have to improve the way global
initiatives that focus on health system strengthening work with
country-level stakeholders? How can they improve the way they seek and
respond to input from country-level stakeholders? 

*          What are the priorities to support health systems
strengthening on the ground that are not yet being addressed by global
initiatives?

*          What do you believe a Health Systems Action Network could
contribute?
