“…..As this volume shows, targets, when designed and applied appropriately, constitute an effective governance tool at national, sub-national and local levels. They can help to define policies and set priorities, involve stakeholders and build consensus, guide the collection of intelligence and evaluation, develop legislation and incentives and guide the allocation of funds and purchase of services.
Health targets can be particularly instrumental in supporting policies that go beyond the health care services on to other key sectors addressing the broader socioeconomic determinants of health.
This book is therefore very much welcomed as it will help to expand our knowledge on the strengths and limitations of targets. It can assist policymakers to better understand what it takes to set targets adequately, how to embed them within health strategies and how best to link them with other governance tools and strategies. The book will also be instrumental in achieving a better understanding of the contextual factors conducive to the successful use of health targets.WHO, together with the other partners of the Observatory, is thus happy to present this volume which will make an important contribution to the arsenal of evidence to improve the governance of health systems….”Dr Nata Menabde Deputy Regional Director WHO Regional Office for Europe
