2. background 2012 IHP+ meeting in Nairobi
Clear messages about obstacles to better health & health services from ineffective cooperation between governments and their partners.
Critical areas identified where action needed at global and country level. Became known as the seven behaviours of effective development cooperation.
These concern us all – governments; international development agencies and civil society.
