Most studies did not report on their definition of community and it is unclear whether they had operational definitions or were working with implicit understandings such as a rough geographical definition. The existence of HFGC whose members do not have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities contributed to the weak participation of the lower level health facilities in development and implementation of CCHP. Awareness of CCHP was found to be higher among CHMT members due to the fact that they are the ones responsible for preparing and coordinating the implementation of the CCHPs. Through ILS the CHMT is not responsible for ordering medicines for the health facilities, the facilities implement this activity on their own.

They further reported that a classical issue in decentralization is lack of capacity characterized by insufficient human resources, inadequate training, and poor management as well as insufficient management system and procedure. Other studies (1923) reported that a high level of education among key actors in health systems increased confidence and influenced participation in decision making in health activities and intervention. All authors have read and approved the final manuscript. In China, a rural health insurance scheme was introduced which allowed local officials to decide on which services would be covered. Some communities had limited access to facilities because of distance, difficult terrain and lack of funds for transport, while health service providers may face problems trying to reach communities and supervise community health workers [16, 18, 19]. Similarly, in India husbands were reluctant to participate in maternal health interventions, describing maternal health as a womens issue.

Geneva: WHO. The framework includes a comprehensive list of barriers and facilitators to implementing health systems interventions including stakeholder knowledge and attitudes, health service delivery factors, and social and political considerations. In-depth interviews with key informants were found to be suitable for the study because it sought to explore the views and experiences of those who are directly dealing with planning and implementation of health facilities and council health plans. Furthermore, lack of funds for conducting training programs, lack of uniformity in the procedure of appointing members of HFGC, and negative attitude of CHMT toward strengthening the HFGC to perform their duties have also contributed to lack of management capacity especially planning skills among HFGC members.
