As a first step toward the development of an ongoing,
multi-country cross-learning platform, several countries and their
development partners will convene a joint learning workshop in New Delhi,
India on February 3 – 5, 2010. The workshop will bring together practitioners
from six countries to share learning around the successes and problem-solve around
the challenges of implementing demand-side health financing reforms to expand health
coverage. |
| |
The focus of the workshop will be on practitioner-to-practitioner learning,
rather than teaching or training by certain countries or technical experts.
In this regard, the workshop will serve as a pilot for the practitioner-to-practitioner
learning model that may be used in subsequent meetings or workshops,
as described in section IV.
The broad objectives of the joint learning workshop will be to:
|
 |
Provide a forum for knowledge transfer and joint problem-solving across countries
on a variety of policy and technical issues
|
|
Enable participants to gain a deeper understanding of at least one issue of technical significance
and problem-solve jointly with other participants on the issue |
|
Develop stronger informal ties among champions of health financing
reforms across countries and with the international community,
and create a platform for continued collaboration |
|
Strengthen the case for continued reform among participant countries,
creating momentum to act and fostering a sense of community among countries
facing similar challenges to achieving reforms |
|
Highlight specific needs (e.g., funding, technical assistance,
monitoring/evaluation, research, etc.)
of participant countries that might be met by external assistance |
|
Identify mechanisms for ongoing joint learning that facilitate collaboration to address existing and upcoming
challenges, and develop a series of next steps for continued joint learning |
