Guidelines for linking health<br>
systems with civil society<br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica">By Paul Laris, Fran Baum, Nikki
Schaay, David Sanders, Haile Kahssay<br>
The </font><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><i>Guidelines
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica">were developed as a result of
two multi-country research projects<br>
sponsored by the World Health Organization. These
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><i>Guidelines
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica">are designed to help<br>
staff in regional or district health systems work in partnership with
civil society<br>
organizations and groups in their areas in order to promote health. They
provide a<br>
practical tool that can be used in the development of partnerships
between health<br>
professionals and existing community groups.<br>
The Guidelines contain seven sections:<br>
Section 1: Crucial concepts<br>
Section 2: Is your district health system ready to work with local civil
society<br>
organizations?<br>
Section 3: Identifying and making contact with local civil society
organizations<br>
Section 4: Analysis of local civil society organizations<br>
Section 5: Building partnerships and working with local civil society
organizations<br>
Section 6: Case Studies<br>
Section 7: Appendix<br>
