Agenda blocks – addressing
stumbling blocks
• Addressing the fragmentation of system through agreeig on the main
functions of the system and how to organize them at:
– National level – harmonization of roles and mandates between actors in the
reform (national, regional, local levels, sectors, private service providers)
to perform a gatekeeping role (Plenary 2)
– Local level – developing a continuum of services (Breakout sessions 1-3)
• Overcoming dominance of residential care institutions (Plenary 3):
– Through National planning for restructuring of institutions and
development of services at local level.
• Operationalizing the policies and legislation (Plenary 5):
– Costing, budgetting and reallocation of resources
– Transition funding and fiscal space for reforms
