The district health system is still the core piece of health 
system development, and with the decentralisation trends 
apparent in many countries, it has continued to increase in 
importance. The manual is intended to support those on the 
ground who are involved in the reform of health systems in 
general or in attempts to improve the district health systems in 
low-income countries, particularly in Africa. The manual can be 
considered as GTZ?s collective experience in the field of 
district health system development.
