A paper, "Strengthening coordination for shock preparedness and response: lessons for health system resilience", was produced by Oxford Policy Management (OPM) as part of ReBUILD for Resilience

It states that coordination and partnership are widely highlighted in policy and academic literature as important for health system resilience, and as such they have a core place in the ReBUILD for Resilience research framework. This paper outlines key lessons for effective coordination structures and systems that can support preparedness and response.
