Health System Performance Assessment series - Webinar II
Tuesday, 13 June 2023 (12:00-13:00 CET)
Good governance is an essential element of health systems resilience. It is a cross cutting function that implies coordination and collaboration with actors within and beyond the health system. Social participation is therefore an important component of health system governance.
Increased interactions between the community and policy makers can facilitate a more responsive health system that better meets the needs of the community and thereby impact on health system performance.
But can social participation in governance be measured? What is the impact on health system performance? How can participatory governance best be encouraged? Join us to find out!

Health Systems Performance Assessment Series
Health system strengthening is the principal means to achieving the shared goal of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). But how can we use health system performance assessment (HSPA) to inform health policies and actions towards UHC?
This spotlight series consists of three webinars covering different aspects of Health Systems Performance Assessment:
- How do differences in organizing public health services affect health system performance?
- How to evaluate participatory governance and its impact on health system performance?
- How can we use health system performance assessment to support pandemic preparedness?
We highlight a diverse range of approaches countries can take or have taken to health system performance assessment globally, to demonstrate how this has contributed to system strengthening and resilience. We review the potential challenges and opportunities of health system performance assessment and consider the influence of the specific organizational features of health systems in different countries. We also explore different approaches to performance assessment to support policy-makers in determining which areas to prioritize and direct resources towards.
