Abstract

This study explored health system factors conducive to, or that limit maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) policy, program implementation and outcomes in West Africa, and how and why they work in some contexts. Findings relate to the health system and how it affects interventions and outcomes. There is little research in the sub-region related to such values as responsiveness, equity, fairness, justice, and rights and responsibilities, which may be explicitly or implicitly held within the health system, and more specifically, how they apply to MNCH and other programs.
