PMC The identified challenges facing the HFGCs in the development and implementation of CCHP calls for policy makers both at national and district levels to revisit the decentralization by devolution policy by ensuring that local governance structures have adequate resources as well as autonomy to participate in planning and managing CCHP in general and health facility plans in particular. Community participation is regarded as an important tool for successful health sector development and it has been talked about since the mid-1950s (1, 2). Google Scholar.

Among other things, the national and local authorities could design awareness intervention campaigns on community participation and health planning, making clear definitions of functions, roles, and responsibilities of HFGC; design and implement a capacity development program for HFGCs for the purposes of raising (HFGC) community's knowledge on CCHP particularly focused on community participation in development and implementation of health plans through HFGC; and establish strong communication between HFGCs and CHMT on matters related to CCHP. Hossain J, Ross SR. What I know is that the CHMT usually involves the lower health facilities staff in the CCHP preparation but the problem is that the HFGC members are not aware of what is going on due to the fact that they have never been oriented or trained on health planning. What I know is that community participation is the process of involving people in deciding about their own affairs. All authors approved the final version. The .gov means its official. (KI 2: chairperson of health center governing committee). In other studies this type of process occurred not by design, but serendipity: the community mobilization study in India, for instance, relied on the programmes community organizers to act as intermediaries between communities and health services as part of the intervention which in turn increased community willingness and ability to hold health workers accountable for services [25].

Since I became a member of HFGC I never saw or heard that our committee is consulted or involved in any stage of preparing what you called CCHP.

As regards the implementation of the planned activities in the CCHP, the study found that the lower level health facilities staff are not aware of the annual facility budget, district budget, annual planned activities and even the action plans for implementing various activities in the CCHP. Documenting, evaluating and reporting on highly complex and dynamic community participation approaches using conventional evaluation methods and designs with the rigor required to establish a strong evidence base may be difficult for implementers who may lack relevant resources and expertise. In addition to the available evidence on the impact of participation, it is also important to understand which factors influence implementation of community participation interventions for maternal and newborn health.
