Abstract
The Tanzania Essential Health Interventions Project shows how health systems
benefit when local communities and officials contribute to key decisions and
participate in efforts to improve health services. Whether it is making bricks to
rebuild dispensaries or speaking up at village meetings, people are assuming
responsibility for their futures.
