The paper develops an analytical framework applied to India, Uganda, and Afghanistan— for conceptualizing the governance/stewardship function within health systems and the role of government in the context of an expanded role for private service provision and financing. The paper begins by reviewing the approaches to conceptualizing and operationalizing stewardship, drawing on recent literature, and then explores typologies of governance, with a focus on working models of engagement and collaboration between major public and private sector actors in achieving public health goals.
