Quotes from participants
Our problem was our shared understanding of what UHC is –
what it will take to domesticate a global agenda for [our country] and
run with it; and also the fact that we have unfocused policy dialogue
on UHC. Once we had those two, we were able to strategize
“
”
It actually helps me to listen to them instead of me preaching at
them or giving them the solution [Now I ask the] person who is delivering
the service for our clients, how is it for you? […] How can I give you support,
so that you can deliver that service better.
“
”Yes, when we did the stakeholder mapping, it truly changed
my view about them. […] we do use a lot of the stakeholders
mapping to know within the group we intend to engage.
“
”
Reactions from DPs in country
Change was pronounced in the participant: more
humble approach to colleagues, listens more; [he] is a
person who likes to learn and who likes to apply
learnings – quite possible that changes have been
triggered by program
“
”Change [to more inclusive behavior] not
necessarily observed in the participant, but difficult
in [the country’s] context, which is very hierarchical,
but delegation to others was good.
“
”
The Collective Action Initiative was perfectly
aligned with national work-plan, assured through
participation of the right people in the team
 100% positive responses

from what observed, it seemed great, could

Editor's Notes

  • #4 This is the beginning. Olivier starts with a personal connection story—revealing the roots--Bangladesh example. Linking the concrete the case to the fact that UHC 1. complex 2. multi-stakeholder and therefore requires Leadership [add or deepen] Thank you for your presence. Where does all this orgininate from? As garment threads a carpet revealing a pattern in the end, I can see that our product today emerged actually from many many threads in the past weaving together a coherent story and pattern. Let me begin to tell you where for me the issue of leadership and UHC has come into play. Back in 2007 Olivier was working in Bangladesh in the health sector in with the biggest SAWP $5 billion together with WBG was TF manager. we couldn’t bring the government to do what the they were intended to do. Needs were obvious. Poor people couldn t access health services – this was obvious in your day to day life as we commuted between our residential area and the places we worked and interacted with the people around you. It wasn’t only about the poor only. The wife of a Bangladeshi colleague of mine fell in coma during birth delivery and from then onwards started a suffering journey in which the health care costs absorbed all the financial ressources of the rather affluent middle-class family. The issue of reforms also in the Health financing area was addressed as a topic in the health SWAp but ir remained on paper. There was leadership issues behind. Let me open what I mean by leadership here [Shared vision, cooperation to achieve national goals, raising the profile, sustainable coalitions]: there was no real dialogue engage in working togethether let alone collaborating, between DPs and government and within government between MoH and MoF and other stakeholders such as private sector. There was always a reform agenda on engaging private sector but they were always in their tranches. From then onwards, leadership issues became key to me. And I can say, that retrospectively looking: had I had the chance to have such a programme in Bangladesh I am sure it would have helped the sector – not only between the actors in the country but also between development partners and the counterparts. One day a chance to learn more about leadership work. Ed Campos, whom we lost last year who founded the leadership program at the WBG and I talked to Olivier. From other candidate sectors this is where we felt most strongly the pull where leadership and coalition building could truly have transformational impact. Build on Olivier’s example, it’s not only about technical issues. Building coalitions. From “what’s wrong” to “ how question” . Bangladesh was a learning ground for me and Ed Campos. We often wondered 30% disbursement rates during a transitional technocratic government led by a former Bank staff. Money wasn’t spent because of these blockages. Entranchement in sectors and silos. This all merged into a program. Leadership theory of change.
  • #5 Program supports the country teams in their reform process via several levers: - Leadership skills for improved communication, dialogue and trust building—Moving towards UHC requires a varied number of stakeholders to effectively work together across sectors; in particular health, social and finance; and at political and technical levels. Leaders need to introduce sustainable mechanisms to model, cultivate and improve communication, dialogue and trust across sectors. - Establishing effective collaboration mechanisms— Collaboration among relevant ministries (e.g. Health, Finance, Labor) and other groups (in the case of Nigeria for example between central authority and states; and, in the case of Kenya between central and counties) is a key requirement to advance UHC agenda forward; often, there is scope for improving the mutual understanding of goals, roles and relevance of the different government and private sector stakeholders. - High-level thinking partnership and support from subject-matter and leadership experts—While leaders are often experts in the UHC field, mentorship on “how of” coalition building and implementation by experienced UHC practitioners is critical. - Learning by doing and demonstration of successful implementation—Country teams launch 100-day Collective Action Initiatives with clear results. - Peer learning and knowledge exchange—Country teams’ learn from each other’s experience and establish a support network. Also with inclusion of ex-Health Minister of Turkey as thinking partner and field visits in Turkey during workshop 3, there was an element of South-South learning, participants learned from the experience of Turkey and Turkish reformers.
  • #13 In the first place, we have learnt from each others approaches a lot. And participants said they benefitted from the programme. Concerning operational aspects: Country and Participants selection is the key Monitoring the impact, we’re learning Strong connection to operations Bigger transformation “direction” of this prototype and involvement of complex challenge stakeholders: support LSC through a more “systemic” intervention, focusing on all relevant stakeholders and their attitude/mind-set (“heart of the leader”) as well as rules of the game; bringing together different constituencies and broader set of stakeholders/their perspectives Success is when important steps are done towards UHC, triggered by the leadership-program Major challenges: Alignment and collaboration between different constituencies (depending on commitment of project managers who stick to their believes that bringing together approaches adds value to the whole) For the future: Learn from the lessons of 1.0
  • #14 Brigitta’s questions: What was new for you ? Anything that moved you specially? More/less convincing parts of the story? What was missing? Suggestions for the future of this collaboration? What else?
  • #18 This is the slide that does two things: it talks about scoping, and it talks about wpo were the countries and participants. Olivier: Starting from our impressions We had this explatory phase, went back to client countries asked them on the utility of the proposed program on leadership. Francaphone aFrica, the feeback Joy got from flagship course. Connection with Health GP and in each country recognize the involvement of Bank TTLs and country offices. As well as Africa team. For every country please enter all the participants and their designation.
