Ngulube,T.J. and Scott,V., ‘Applying Policy Analysis in Tackling Health-equity Related Implementation Gaps,’ EQUINET Discussion Paper, No. 28, Regional Network for Equity in Health in east and southern Africa (EQUINET). January, 2006.http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/1437In international health policy debates the problems experienced in implementing new policies and interventions are generally seen as resulting from the weak use of available evidence and the failure to hold health workers accountable for their actions. Both of these causes are then sometimes linked to the lack of political will to improve implementation. This paper presents an alternative perspective that takes fuller account of the ways in which the exercise of power shapes implementation experiences.enImplementationHealth-equityHealth policyOther
