- Organizers: EQUINET, COPASAH and Rotter-dam Global Health Initiative Erasmus University, for the participatory cluster in the Shapes TWG for Health Systems Global
- Title: New resources and opportunities for participatory research in health systems: Areas of focus for Health Systems Global
- Content: The satellite session will be convened by the three organisations leading the participatory cluster of the Shapes Technical working Group in HSR global. It will present and discuss with delegates interested in the cluster the issues, resources and capacities for the field and how these could be developed through the TWG, and will make available work we have done to date, particularly through EQUINET and COPASAH. It will review the experience of using participatory action research (PAR), community monitoring and innovations in social media in transforming local health systems, the challenges faced and the areas for future participatory work in HSR. It will launch the EQUINET, AHPSR and IDRC methods reader on participatory action research and web tools from COPASAH. The session will identify field building in-puts in terms of the resources, capacity building, methods and opportunities that need to be taken forward by the participatory cluster of the Shapes Technical working Group and the people who are interested in playing a role in the different areas of work.
