Introduction
Specific experiences of health programmes in fragile contexts presented during the conference will be the basis for the analysis and discussions of key questions, such as
- Can health programmes have a positive influence on key drivers of fragility and make a contribution to reduce fragility? In which way and at what (community, district, state) level? What are specific challenges and limitations?
- What are the roles and potential complementarities of the different actors: CSO, NGOs, government, development agencies (including UN/multilateral/global agencies)?
- What are the specific challenges and conflicting priorities for health programmes at the interface of humanitarian aid and development cooperation in fragile contexts: e.g. fast and effective aid to beneficiaries vs system strengthening and community involvement; sustainability of service in case of planned or unplanned termination of a programme.
The organisators, the Swiss Red Cross, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Network Medicus Mundi Switzerland hope that this conference will find your interest and kindly invite you to save the date. The invitation with a detailed programme will follow at a later date.
