This June 2016 Learning Exchange held at American University in Washington, D.C. convened over 40 practitioners and researchers to discuss potential contributions from the field of Transparency, Participation and Accountability (TPA) to the performance of reproductive health (RH) delivery systems.
The conversation focused on how strategic citizen oversight initiatives can facilitate monitoring of reproductive health systems and promote more accountable health systems. The main themes that emerged through the panel presentations and subsequent discussions were:
Include multiple perspectives: Bridge political and technical analysis, the first mile, and downward accountabilityRe-politicize RH supply chains: Map power, identify incentives and collective action opportunitiesIntegrate research and practice across TPA and RH: Implementation science and action researchAnticipate challenges of applying TPA principles to RH delivery systems
The Learning Exchange culminated with discussion on possible areas of relevant collaborative research. The Learning Exchange and this document are intended to spur cross-field collaboration, practice and learning.
