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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO HEALTHACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICESACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMSAGEDANTICORRUPTIONAPPOINTEESASSETSAUDIENCESBASIC NEEDSBEST PRACTICESBRAINSTORMINGBUDGET ADVOCACYBUDGET ALLOCATIONBUILDING CONSENSUSBUSINESS COMMUNITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY DEVELOPMENTCHILD HEALTHCHRONIC DISEASESCITIZEN MONITORINGCITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ACTORSCIVIL SOCIETY ASSOCIATIONSCIVIL SOCIETY CAPACITYCIVIL SOCIETY ENGAGEMENTCIVIL SOCIETY GROUPSCIVIL SOCIETY MONITORINGCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOLLABORATIONCOLLECTIVE ACTIONSCOMMODITIESCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCOMMUNITY HEALTHCOMMUNITY LEADERSCOMPETENCIESCONFIDENCECONSENSUSCONSENSUS BUILDINGCONSULTATIONCONSULTATIONSCONSUMERSCONTRACT MONITORINGDATA ANALYSISDATA COLLECTIONDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDELIVERY SYSTEMSDEVELOPMENT GOALSDISCLOSUREDISTRIBUTION OF PHARMACEUTICALSDISTRICT AUTHORITIESDISTRICT COUNCILDOCTORSENABLING ENVIRONMENTESSENTIAL DRUGSEXPENDITURESEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIESEXTREME POVERTYFACILITATORSFAMILY PLANNINGFIGURESFREEDOM OF INFORMATIONFREEDOM OF SPEECHGLOBAL ANTICORRUPTIONGMPGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONGRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONSHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE COSTSHEALTH CARE FINANCINGHEALTH CARE PROVIDERSHEALTH CARE PROVISIONHEALTH CARE REFORMSHEALTH CARE SERVICE DELIVERYHEALTH CARE SYSTEMSHEALTH COSTSHEALTH EXPENDITUREHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH INFORMATIONHEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMHEALTH ORGANIZATIONHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PROGRAMSHEALTH PROMOTIONHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH REFORMHEALTH REFORMSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SERVICE DELIVERYHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTH SYSTEMS RESEARCHHIV/AIDSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESHUMAN RIGHTSHUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSIONILLNESSIMMUNODEFICIENCYINITIATIVEINJURIESINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENINGINTEGRATIONINTEREST GROUPINTEREST GROUPSINTERVENTIONINTERVIEWSINVENTORY CONTROLIRRATIONAL USELAWSLAWYERLAWYERSLEADERSHIPLEGAL FRAMEWORKLISTENINGLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL GOVERNMENTMEDIAMEDICAL CAREMEDICAL DOCTORMEDICAL SERVICESMEDICAL STORESMEDICAL SUPPLIESMEDICINEMEDICINESMENTAL HEALTHMINISTERMOBILIZATIONMORBIDITYMORTALITYNATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCEOUTREACHPACKAGINGPARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEEPATIENTPATIENTSPATRONAGEPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESPHARMACEUTICALPHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRYPHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURERSPHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURINGPHARMACEUTICAL PROCUREMENTPHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTSPHARMACEUTICAL SECTORPHARMACEUTICAL SERVICESPHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLYPHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLY CHAINSPHARMACEUTICAL SYSTEMSPHARMACEUTICALSPHARMACISTSPHARMACYPOLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT LAWSPROCUREMENT POLICIESPROCUREMENTSPROJECT EVALUATIONPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC HEALTHPURCHASINGQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY CONTROLQUALITY OF HEALTHQUALITY OF LIFERECONSTRUCTIONREMEDYREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRULE OF LAWSELF-INTERESTSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMSSERVICE PROVIDERSSOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL ISSUESSOCIAL MARKETINGSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL WELFARESOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTSTAKEHOLDERSTAKEHOLDER ANALYSISSTAKEHOLDERSSTANDARD TREATMENT GUIDELINESSTRATEGIC PLANNINGSUPPLIERSSUPPLY CHAINSUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE HEALTH CARETRANSPARENCYTUBERCULOSISUSER PARTICIPATIONVACCINATIONVILLAGESVIOLENCEWASTEWEAK ACCOUNTABILITYWORKERS10.1596/978-1-4648-0287-4
