Abstract

The workshop aimed to build skills, share experiences and strengthen work on participatory methods for people centred health systems. The meeting involved dialogue and exchange of experiences, activities to encourage reflection and discussions on follow up, with exchanges on work done in 2006 and the lessons learned. Participants reported skills building and greater community involvement in health activities; changed perceptions of and behaviours in planning; and became more aware of the constraints related to resource allocation. Other sessions explored how to identify health needs in communities, how to prioritise these needs and to look for the causes of ill health.
