governing bodies comprise one million governing roles involving health officials and representatives of health workers, communities, civil society organizations and private sector. Our country estimates were validated by ministries of health in Benin, Burkina Faso, Liberia and Nigeria and the ministry's partner organization in Kenya.Going Forward: Research shows that governing bodies have a potential to contribute to improved health services and health status of populations but often do not get necessary support. To realize their promise, they need to be supported in terms of clear mandates, authority, and resources. Revitalizing them, clarifying their responsibilities, authority and resources, and establishing a system of governance orientation and ongoing education will add capable hands to deck to achieve the sustainable health goal. USAID-funded Leadership, Management, and Governance Project has created a suite of tools, models, approaches, and governance learning resources for the orientation of these one million trustees.Funding: United States Agency for International Development.
