Critical barriers to sustainable capacity strengthening in global health: A systems perspective on development assistance

<p>These qualitative datasets are associated with work done under the Inter-agency Working Group for Capacity Strengthening initiative. The data was&nbsp;captured via Miro - a digital whiteboarding tool - using an innovative co-creation process called Systems Acupuncture and details the nine systemic barriers impeding a better, more sustainable country-driven model for capacity strengthening. The data was captured over a series of stakeholder workshops and discussion sessions, and synthesized into nine &quot;system syndrome&quot; maps. The maps illustrate the multi-dimensional causal relationships between individual system drivers and display feedback loops (i.e., sets of drivers that reinforce each other) within and between the system syndrome maps.&nbsp;The two pending manuscripts, both submitted to Gates Open Research,&nbsp;this data is associated with are:</p> <ol> <li>Critical barriers to sustainable capacity strengthening in global health: A systems perspective on development assistance</li> <li>Exploring system drivers of gender inequity in development assistance for health and opportunities for action</li> </ol> <p>&nbsp;</p>
