Learning and knowledge sharing are fundamental to the LHSS Project. We invite you to search LHSS knowledge products and resources for the latest approaches, insights, and learning in the field of integrated health systems strengthening.
This two-pager focuses on USAID’s Learning Question 5, “What are effective and sustainable mechanisms or processes that enable the participation of private sector, civil society, and public organizations in developing locally-led solutions to improve high-performing health care, especially for poor and vulnerable populations? What enables the effective participation or leadership of marginalized populations themselves in the development and implementation of these solutions? Under what conditions is this participation different?”

Given the complexity of the causes and effects of the SDoH and the multitude of stakeholders and interventions needed, this publication introduces the Theory of Change (ToC) that can help those seeking to develop interventions to address and mitigate the effect of the SDoH on health.
This brief includes a set of suggested competencies developed in collaboration with a diverse group of stakeholders from around the world who identified them as essential for the health workforce.
This technical guidance document provides a summary of principal findings that highlight those complex factors including a literature review, surveys, resource mapping, case studies including key informant interviews, and the development of a theory of change.
This literature review seeks to identify, analyze, and document successful efforts to integrate Social Determinants of Health into health workforce education, training, and service delivery in low- and middle-income countries.
