Installation of a Cross-Border Basic Service Infrastructure: The User’s Guide

Abstract

This book, entitled Installation of a Cross-Border Basic Service Infrastructure: The User’s Guide, presents a successful experience of cross-border cooperation arising from a local initiative in the healthcare sector in West Africa. The guide at hand shares the experiences acquired during the installation of this Cross-Border Health Centre and outlines concrete steps to be followed for the implementation of similar cross-border projects between African Union Member States. The publication serves a tool not only for governments, national institutions, as well as administrative and local authorities in border regions, but also for those working in the field, directly involved in the development process. The objective is to offer support to parties implementing cross-border cooperation projects in general, and specifically those relating to the healthcare sector. Hence, this publication provides a set of templates and operational tools which are meant to serve as inspiration and guidance for authorities and practitioners alike.
