NGO Code of Conduct for Health Systems Strengthening
Launched in May 2008, the NGO Code of Conduct for Health Systems Strengthening is a response to the recent growth in the number of international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) associated with increased aid flows to the health sector. It is intended as a tool for service organizations – and eventually, funders and host governments. The code serves as a guide to encourage NGO practices that contribute to building public health systems and discourage those that are harmful. The document was drafted by a coalition of activist or service delivery organizations, including Health Alliance International, Partners In Health, HealthGAP, and Action Aid International.
