Towards a comprehensive response to health system strengthening in crisis-affected fragile states: the Kosovo case study

The Kosovo case study addresses four key themes: the impact of the crisis and the international community response to intensive mining related environmental health disaster; the implementation of the new health system; the security community's participation in health system recovery and reconstruction; and the coordination mechanisms that facilitated or directed the security community's involvement.

The aim of this project is to infer elements of a strategic framework for health system strengthening in crisis-affected fragile states, focusing on the optimal use of contributions from global actors. It was anticipated that the Alliance could determine how to support the process of health system strengthening in the best manner within the scope of its crisis management core task.
