@_CatJones_ Fascinating to see the theories used in health finan. studies in SSA: poli sci, HPSR but also combinations aka "theoretical bricolage". Big insights from talking to study authors about theory selection: relevance, avail in preferred language, concrete local examples.
@GilbertAbiiro Ebb/flow of health finan policy in Ghana - Communication re: technical details vs. political considerations about where to pilot >> Rename/reframe to focus on medical benefits+aim for broader stakeholder coaltion
@shreya_hariyani Stakeholder mapping for HRH policy in UP helps anticipate implementation challenges: policy agendas set by central actors, contested areas need extended negotiation beyond HRH professional assoc, powerful prof assoc can short-circuit policy change.
@kjcroke1 Politics of PHC expansion in Ethiopia: Prioritizing rural areas key polit strategy, state mgmt capacity, mgmt of donors to fund PHC, view of "development state" w/big role for gov& #39;t. 1/2
Political will not single decision >> process with historical roots. HSS is state-building - state-bldg is contentious & difficult to replicate.
DR: This is the juicy stuff right here! Poses difficult questions for HPSR about how to replicate "successful" policies for HS. 2/2

@ankimeg Drivers for data manipulation in UP: Performance pressure creates punitive work culture and perverse incentive for manipulation focused on "performance" rather than data quality. Goal of achieving high ranking in conflict with goals for good data.
