Enhancing Funders’ and Advocates’ Effectiveness: The Processes Shaping Collaborative Advocacy for Health System Accountability in South Africa
Resource type: Research Report
The Foundation Review |
This Foundation Review article, authored by by Barbara Klugman and Waasila Jassat, examines five Atlantic-supported advocacy efforts designed to improve access to quality health care for all South Africans and reduce health inequities across the country.
Based on Atlantic’s experiences, the article suggests that funders taking on work that aims to hold government accountable for meeting its constitutional responsibility “would do well to put time and care into grantee selection, finding the individuals and groups with the passion, shared values, and skills to develop and adapt effective strategies.”
Health-E News, South African HIV Clinicians Society, Rural Health Advocacy Project (RHAP) (via WITS Health Consortium), Section 27 and Treatment Action Campaign are Atlantic grantees.
