Reports, Guidelines, and Projects

• Partnerships for health in Mali: Overcoming friction between ministries and local government
  This Capacity.org report by Elsbet Lodenstein, Thea Hilhorst, Dao Dramane and Jurien Toonen states, "In Mali the devolution of health service management to local governments led to friction at all levels, and the inefficient use of resources. An action research programme has helped the emergence of effective partnerships for local healthcare delivery."
• The Capacity Project in Mali
  "Since March 2006, the Capacity Project has been working to enhance the availability and quality of health care service provision to communities in currently underserved areas of Mali. Toward this aim, the Project is collaborating with Malian colleagues to address a number of needs, including the lack of a consistent supply of well-trained health workers committed to providing health services to rural communities. In particular, there is a shortage of health workers in the three underserved northern regions of Mali and a chronic shortage of well-trained midwives available to serve in rural areas throughout the country—about 75% of nurses/midwives in Mali are based in the capital city of Bamako."
