Eight experts assisted the Government in preparing a Health Sector Development Project and presented proposals to support appropriate reforms of the health sector. The objectives were to identify health sector needs and health system reforms appropriate for the new socio-economic context; determine how the donor agency could support development in the sector; prepare a project for possible funding by the donor; assess policies and show policy and strategy strengths and weaknesses; develop options to improve the policy framework; and analyse financing and service delivery in detail.
