The Health Partnership Group of development partners, the Ministry of Health and other Ministries aims to improve the effectiveness of external support to the health sector. It is the primary forum for developing trust, building common understanding and facilitating progress towards common systems and ways of working in the health sector, as a priority sector for government and development partners.

As an over-arching coordination forum for the health sector, the Health Partnership Group deals primarily with strategic and policy issues. Technical co-ordination takes place in its sub-groups.
