This document discusses capacity strengthening for global health. It identifies three key institutional capacity areas where change should occur: the conduciveness of the political environment, the efficiency of policy instruments, and the effectiveness of organizational arrangements. Six learning outcomes are identified as essential to capacity development, including raising awareness, enhancing skills, and implementing strategies and plans. The document then provides examples of how capacity has been altered in areas like mental health, child development, and innovations in cost-effective service delivery models. Feedback from participants on workshops and presentations is also included.

16. Leonardo Cubillos Turriago
“A post-2015 world should have more engagement of
people, inclusivity, transparency, and accountability.
Emerging governance models also provide
opportunities for far greater citizen participation,
influence and intersectoral action.
Civil society and community dimensions of “country
ownership” are vital for both strong policy development
and for holding all stakeholders accountable for
progress.”
