Abstract

Previous studies consistently show popular participation structures in health to be either low or absent at most health facilities. Work done as part of this phase of activities of Equity Gauge Zambia indicate that an underlying cause of poor performance is the disproportionate distribution and use of power at district levels, in implementation of primary health care activities. This report outlines how workshop activities were undertaken, the reflection and consensus participants reached. The sessions and exercises that aim at empowering stakeholders to facilitate participatory processes are contained in the manual that was produced for this workshop.
