[afro-nets] EQUINET Paper Reviews

Dear All,

I cross post the following snippets from the 'Health Systems Reporter' eldis-healthsystems@lyris.ids.ac.uk as it once again illustrate that imposing health systems / interventions (top down) and ignoring the 'community voice', as is happening all too often (again) after brief spells of bottom up rhetoric (and some action) when there is a change in government / regime in countries, the effort is not bound for glory, but failure.

Hopefully in the not too distant future there will be some sustained effort in this mode (bottom up), not in isolation, but widespread enough in a district / geographic region that will result in a rollout and a ground swell too powerful to stop which will make the lessons impossible to ignore to in other parts of the country / world - still too idealistic?
