HS8 Social exclusion in low income countries

Social exclusion is a powerful mechanism of marginalisation and
disempowerment. Denial of political, social and cultural rights
underpins the process of social exclusion, which has the potential to
exacerbate or trap excluded individuals and groups in a web of poverty,
discrimination, poor health and limited education opportunities. A
better understanding of the various dimensions of social exclusion and
their structural causes in low-income countries is needed. In
particular, research examining how these causes can be (or are being)
challenged by excluded groups in specific contexts through rights-based
approaches, would constitute an important contribution to a broader
recognition of tackling exclusion in low-income countries.

HS7 Analysing decentralisation in low income countries

Many countries have decentralised their health systems in pursuit of a
variety of objectives including the facilitation of citizen influence
and engagement with local government and the improvement of management and
financing. Research under this theme could address the following
questions:

1. What effect does citizens 'voice' have on the governance process in
different contexts?

2. How appropriately are accountability mechanisms structured?

3. How do managers at central and more peripheral levels respond to the
decentralised arrangements?

4. How are financial flows affected by decentralised arrangements?
