Excerpt
This paper offers a reasoned synthesis of EURO's technical cooperation with Member States and the European experience of policy, planning and management in support of HFA. It records the progress to date, identifies the major characteristics and significant influences in Europe and clarifies the particular challenges faced in implementing BFA. It explains in some detail the evolution of the approach to policy, planning and management taken in Europe and reviews recent and current activities to sustain the momentum. 1.1 Introduction WHO, by one means or another, e.g. Programme System Analysis (PSA), Country Health Programming (CHP), and currently Managerial Process for National Health Development (MPNHD), has been promoting managerial processes for the health sector and health development for many years, and over the past decade explicitly in support of Health~~~or~A~I~l~~~~~Fherwork~wfn~he.RegionaL Office and the programmes of the European Region have been quite consciously shaped by these purposes. And at this midpoint between the HFA Resolution and the year 2000, it is possible to assess progress and the tasks yet to be done, including a frank appraisal of the problems to be overcome. A fully considered assessment of progress in the Region would take cognizance of the particular constraints and obstacles experienced in the different political, organizational and other circumstances of countries, the status of their health infrastructure development including modes of intersectoral collaboration and community participation, and their achievements in HFA policy development and implementation. To the extent it is possible that is the intenti0n:underpinning: bhis'.paper.~:8It.t;?~summarizae s general impression, drawing on informed opinion and reviewing Regional Office activity, and provides a reasoned synthesis of European experience.
