| Jack Eldon, HLSP | |
| | |
| This paper examines | |
| whether rebuilding | |
| health systems | |
| strengthens the | |
| social contract | |
| between state and | |
| society and | |
| contributes to | |
| state-building. It | |
| explores whether | |
| health service | |
| delivery signals the | |
| will and capacity of | |
| the state to act on | |
| behalf of citizens | |
| in a responsive and | |
| accountable manner, | |
| and whether the | |
| planning, management | |
| and delivery of | |
| health services | |
| contributes to | |
| capacity development | |
| beyond the health | |
| sector. | |
