Abstract

While 鈥榓ccountability鈥� has become an increasingly popular buzzword in health systems debates and health service delivery, it has multiple 鈥� and contested 鈥� meanings.

From 19-21 July 2017, the Institite of Development Studies (IDS) brought together over 80 activists, researchers, public health practitioners and policy makers to examine critically the forces that shape accountability in health systems, from local to global levels. Our partners in convening this workshop, as part of a new IDS programme on 鈥楢ccountability for Health Equity鈥� were the Unequal Voices project, Future Health Systems, the Open Society Foundations, the Impact Initiative and Health Systems Global.

This is the workshop report of the presentations and discussions.
