Overview
The African Union (AU)’s “Addis Ababa Commitment toward Shared Responsibility and Global Solidarity for Increased Health Financing Declaration” – also known as the ALM Declaration - seeks to galvanise greater cooperation between the public and private sectors to maximize the delivering of sustainable, effective, efficient and equitable health for all, and to safeguard health security. To effectively engage the whole health sector, countries necessitate greater understanding of the contribution of the private sector to healthcare service delivery. To this aim, the WHO’s Health Systems and Governance Unit together with the WHO Eastern Mediterranean and African regional offices undertook a joint landscaping to better understand current approaches to engage with the private sector in health, and governance of the private sector in health. The landscape analysis aim at supporting Member States to build more inclusive and effective governance of the health system as a whole, underpinned by robust monitoring, evaluation, learning and knowledge management.
