About ACT Health Programme:
The increasing discussion of weak
governance and accountability failures which lead to poor service delivery has
led to more programmes that include citizens and civil-society actors in the
processes of monitoring and decision making for public services. There is an
increasing interest in programmes that try to restore a healthy balance between
state (policy makers, service providers, duty-bearers) and clients (citizens,
rights-holders, users of services). Some of the most impactful efforts
strengthen direct links between citizens and providers (health workers) and
have very a very dramatic impact on accessibility and quality of services.
