International and national influences on health policy development in Uganda [Elektronische Daten] [SAM AGATRE OKUONZI, JOANNA MACRAE] As national resources for health decline, so dependence on international resources to finance the capital and recurrent costs is increasing. This dependence, combined with an increasing emphasis on policy-based, as opposed to project-based, lending and grant-making has been accompanied by greater involvement of international actors in the formation of national health policy. This paper explores the process of health policy development in Uganda and examines how nnajor donors are influencing and conflicting with national policy-making bodies. Focusing on two examples of user fees and drugs policies, it argues that while the content of international prescriptions to strengthen the health system may not be bad in itself, the process by which they are applied potentially threatens national sovereignty and weakens mechanisms for ensuring accountability. It concludes by proposing that in order to increase the sustainability of policy reforms, much greater emphasis should be placed on strengthening national capacity for policy analysis and research, building up policy networks and enhancing the quality of information available to the public concerning key policy changes. © 1995 Oxford University Press Articles nationallicence OKUONZI SAM AGATRE Ministry of Health, Uganda aut MACRAE JOANNA Heatth Policy Unit, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine UK aut Health Policy and Planning Oxford University Press 10/2(1995-06), 122-132 0268-1080 10:2<122 1995 10 heapol https://doi.org/10.1093/heapol/10.2.122 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/heapol/10.2.122 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- OKUONZI SAM AGATRE Ministry of Health, Uganda aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- MACRAE JOANNA Heatth Policy Unit, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Health Policy and Planning Oxford University Press 10/2(1995-06), 122-132 0268-1080 10:2<122 1995 10 heapol Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
