The framework is organised around 14 “levers” in two groups — Core strategic levers (political commitment and leadership; governance and policy frameworks; funding and allocation of resources; engagement of communities and stakeholders) and Operational levers (models of care; workforce; physical infrastructure; quality; monitoring and evaluation; and others). The governance and stakeholder-engagement levers speak to cross-sector coordination (Action 2); the funding, models-of-care, workforce and infrastructure levers to the enabling conditions (Action 3).
