ACCELERATING PROGRESS TOWARD SELF-SUSTAINING, HEALTH SYSTEMS IS POSSIBLE
Home
Helping partner countries drive sustainable health systems change that expands access to life-saving services
Expediting progress toward self-sustaining, strong health systems is possible. To achieve this, countries and development partners must meet complex, systemic challenges with dynamic solutions that can evolve to meet countries’ needs over time. They must also develop new partnership models, in which technical institutions and experts at regional and country levels in Africa and Asia play a lead role in driving health system innovation and improvement.
A five-year initiative funded by USAID and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Accelerator increases people’s access to high performing health systems by supporting countries as they translate, adapt and build more effective and sustainable health system interventions on their journeys to self-reliance. The Accelerator will document and share lessons about how to do health systems strengthening better and amplify the stories of the individuals and institutions who are leading the way.

Institutional Architecture for Health Systems Strengthening
In many low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), health systems strengthening (HSS) efforts have often involved partnerships between domestic institutions, international donors, and external providers of technical assistance. As donor funding declines, countries are seeking to build capacity for HSS independent of international support. This objective aligns well with the overall goal of the Accelerator program,
