Resumen
Descripción
The roots signify the origins and
initial steps taken to build a coalition and the associated
teething problems; the trunk represents efforts toward
sustaining the organization s existence and growth; and the
branches highlight the collective actions undertaken by the
coalition in fulfillment of its aims and objectives. In
preparing this book, and based on their unique experiences,
Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda respectively focus their
chapters on the roots, trunk, and branches. To further the
tree analogy, each country s chapter draws parallels or
makes comparisons with what pertains in the other two
countries, to show how they benefit from each other in an
ongoing knowledge exchange. Chapter two (Putting Down Roots,
Tanzania) has three main sections: an overview of the
country context and health reform agenda; a discussion of
the experiences of MSG-Pharma, Tanzania s multi-stakeholder
body, in setting up a coalition, and lessons learned. These
outline the reasons leading to the establishment of the
multi-stakeholder group and describe how challenges met
during its formation stages were overcome. Chapter three
(growing a strong trunk, Kenya) provides insights into the
approaches employed by Kenya s multi-stakeholder coalition,
the Forum for Transparency and Accountability in
Pharmaceutical Procurement (FoTAPP), in order to sustain the
interest and commitment of key stakeholders. It presents a
brief description of the Kenyan context in relation to the
pharmaceutical sector, highlighting challenges in the
sector, and the importance of a multi-stakeholder coalition
amid other reform platforms. Chapter four (branching out and
bearing fruits, Uganda) describes the opportunities,
challenges, and rewards associated with designing and
implementing a joint intervention in furtherance of the
goals of the Medicines Transparency Alliance (MeTA), the
coalition in Uganda. It also illustrates how the coalition
has been Able to inform policy dialogue and reform efforts
in the health sector.
