Summary This study describes various management strengthening activities in three countries - South Africa, Togo and Uganda. Key findings were presented and discussed in a number of fora, including the International Consultation on Strengthening Health Leadership & Management in Low-Income Countries held in February 2007 in Accra, Ghana where 20 low-income countries (LICs) were represented. The discussions clearly showed that all LICs are facing and struggling with very similar issues as those coming out of this study.
