The health systems performance varies from one country to another, along with variable standards, approaches, initiatives and impacts. High level performance requires best practices across the health components (governance system, health service delivery, human resources for health, health financing, health information systems, health technologies, community participation, and partnership and health research) to be identified, documented, shared and scaled up at the national level. It is in this context that, the Assembly of Ministers of Health, held in April 2014 in Monrovia, adopted a resolution establishing the ECOWAS Forum on Best Practices in Health. The Forum aims to promote and disseminate best practices in health, thus accelerating the efficient and effective implementation of the ECOWAS member countries' priority programs. It serves as a platform for identifying key strategic issues, best practices, innovative and promising approaches for improved health. Since the adoption of this Resolution, WAHO has organized two forums – one in July 2015, and the other in October 2016. These forums targeted best practices that positively impact the health of mothers, newborns, children, adolescents and youth. They influenced the preparation and adoption of the Resolution on Task Shifting and Sharing, which aims at addressing the human resources gaps in health. They have enabled countries to initiate steps to replicate or scale up some best practices that have been disseminated at the forums. The third forum, which is being held in Accra-Ghana, from 23-25 October 2018, focuses on the theme: “Promoting Multi- sectoriality to achieve Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent and Youth (MNCAYH) Health-related Sustainable Development Goals”.The subthemes are practices of Governance and Sustainability; Public Private Partnership and Information Technology; Non-Communicable Diseases and Traditional Medicine that impact MNCAYH. I expect that delegates will have fruitful exchanges on the best practices that will be presented, and that countries will adopt them and eventually scale them up. Let me use this opportunity to thank the donors and development partners, who have supported this platform of best practices as well as countries in their efforts to replicate and scale up the identified best practices. In particular, I sincerely thankhe t USAID Regional Office for West Africa for supporting WAHO to initiate the forum concept, through the Leadership Capacity Strengthening Project. I would also like to express my gratitude to the IBP Secretariat of the World Health Organization and all its members, the German Development Bank (KFW), Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and the Royal Netherlands for their technical and financial support for this regional initiative.
