| Abstract | The workshop on Participatory approaches to people centred health systems was held on the 22nd of September 2009 in Munyonyo Uganda before the EQUINET regional Conference held at the same venue on 23rd -25th of September 2009. This gave participants from the workshop an opportunity to engage with the wider regional community working on health equity, but also to feed input from the participatory work into the conference process and resolutions. The regional review workshop gathered researchers from the PRA research programme since 2005. The studies implemented that were used as the basis for the discussions are separately reported and are shown in Appendix 8.3 of the report. The workshop reviewed the learning from, policy issues and knowledge gaps from the research studies, to inform planning of future work on empowerment and health and on people centred health systems in the ESA region and to explore the role of PRA approaches and community photography in advancing health equity. The workshop gathered those who had led the studies, community photographers and others involved with work on empowerment and health. This report documents the proceedings of the meeting. |
