- reviewing national programmes implemented by the Government of Bangladesh such as the national Maternal and Child Health Programme (reviewed by HLSP for MOHFW, AusAID, DFID and EKN in 2010 and 2011, with funding from AusAID Bangladesh) in order to foster effective lesson learning and strengthening of the health SWAp
- developing options for improved coordination of technical assistance in the context of health SWAps (DFID, 2008);
- undertaking rigorous Health Systems Analysis to build up the evidence-base and support a future health sector programme in Bangladesh (World Bank, 2010)
