Collaborative Practice Pathways Improve Accountability and Governance

This policy briefing looks at six case studies from the POTENCIAR programme, implemented in Mozambique’s health sector. It highlights lessons for governance programmes and discusses how POTENCIAR’s interventions facilitated knowledge-sharing, participatory planning, institutional coordination, and mutual accountability, leading to enhanced health service delivery (for the full report, see Alexander et al. 2025, forthcoming). There is an urgent need to scale up participatory governance models, support context-specific implementation approaches, embed collaborative structures within national systems, and ensure flexible financial models for civil society support within adaptive programmes.
