Success relies on…
• Public sector leadership in organization of the partnership;
• Partnership exploits the comparative advantage and
unique skill set of its members;
• Joint program development of all key stakeholders;
• Clearly defined responsibilities, risks, and resources
required of each partner;
• Inclusiveness and transparency; and
• Appropriate incentives for each partner.
Lessons Learned for Successful partnerships
• A comprehensive strategic plan to lead the partnership is
essential;
• Designation of a leader responsible for ensuring quality and
equity of services;
• Each partner must provide competent and sufficient human
resources;
• Partners need to be flexible and adapt to current and variable
situations and environment;
• Clear and transparent lines of communication; and
• M&E system to document baseline information as well as
progress for advocacy and motivation.
Challenge: Partners may say the same thing but
mean different things.
Challenge: Partners and Beneficiaries
have Biased Perceptions of Quality
Challenge: Ensuring the Quality
Ultimate Challenge:
Scale-up and Sustain Quality TB PPM
Bottom Line
Opportunities must outweigh the risks
• Private health care sector has and continues to
expand rapidly in developing countries.
• People continue to go to secondary care and private
facilities first, making them an essential partner to
improve case detection and diagnostic delays.
THANK YOU!
Together in partnership we are
more than the sum of our parts!
