The Action Planning Handbooks (Zambia Integrated Health Package/Zambia Central Board of Health)

Developed for the Zambia Integrated Health Programme (ZIHP) by Jenny Huddart and Emily Moonze, Initiatives Inc., 2000.

Each Zambian district and higher referral hospital is required to develop an annual plan and have it approved by the Centre before it is eligible to receive its financial allocations for the year.

A review of experiences with the planning process was conducted in 1999. Based on these findings, Initiatives (as part of the Zambia Integrated Health Programme) worked with the Central Board of Health, Provinces, and Districts to produce a series of Action Planning Handbooks.  The aim of these Handbooks was to provide practical guidance to all levels of the public health system.

The Handbooks are aimed at: a) Health Centres, Health Posts, and Communities; b) 1st Level (District) Referral Hospitals; c) District Health Management Teams; and d) 2nd and 3rd Level Referral Hospitals.
