The NHSSP has been developed through an intensive and interactive process that involved all key stakeholders in health development in Sierra Leone. The process commenced in the last quarter of 2008 and was completed in September 2009. The process was coordinated by a specially constituted team based at the Directorate of Planning & Information of the MoHS and was under the leadership of the Chief Medical Officer. Six working groups were constituted to formulate needs based strategies, the building blocks of national health systems as provided in the WHO Framework for Health System Strengthening, 2007, namely: governance and leadership, human resources for health, healthcare financing, medical products and technologies and health information systems. This was done through an interactive process of consultations with stakeholders. A series of stakeholder workshops were also conducted that culminated in validation of the final draft in September 2009.
