Abstract
Many of the chronic problems faced by African countries relate to poor governance. Good health is an outcome of a variety of determinants and processes, most of which lie outside the health sector. Social inequalities, persistent poverty, an eroded public sector – and in Africa AIDS and its fellow travelers – are important and interrelated factors that contribute to persistent poor health status and aggravate social and political tensions. This resource guide is primarily designed to assist individuals and groups conducting research in areas related to Governance and Health, providing a road map to these issues in health systems research.
