The African Council for Sustainable Health Development [ACOSHED]
was established in 1998 to continue with the work of the World
Bank Expert Panel for Better Health in Africa. The goal of the
Council is to foster African ownership of health development,
promote partnership for health policy and service delivery re-
forms, effectively utilize communication technologies for health
promotion and advocacy and generate evidence for such advocacy
at continental, regional and country levels.

At the First General Assembly of the Council held in Abuja in
July 2003, its five year strategic plan for the Council was en-
dorsed by its members and partners and ACOSHED firmly estab-
lished as a pan-African partnership for health systems and so-
cial development in Africa. The First African Public Health Pol-
icy and Development Dialogue ?Turning Knowledge to Action: Lis-
tening Government, Listening Partners?. Over 100 participants
representing a broad range of stakeholders were at this meeting.
