- Decentralization
- Policy-making that empowers diverse stakeholders
- Enhanced community engagement
- Strengthened social capital

UN Photo/Mark Garten. - A recent review of literature (Vian 2014) has shown a positive association between the governance mechanisms listed above and health outcomes. Because this course focuses on health-sector-specific tools and policies, it does not cover generic approaches. Please refer to the study quoted for more information.
