Bangladesh Health Watch Bangladesh Health Watch Bangladesh Health Watch (BHW), is an independent platform of citizens in various areas of the health sector, working within the structures and framework of James P Grant School of Public Health under BRAC University. Founded in 2006, BHW has so far published six Health Watch Reports on health issues (equity, health workforce, health sector governance, UHC, urban health and NCDs). Through this project, BHW intend to play a wider and stronger role in raising issues and concerns facing the national health sector, suggest solutions and support and lobby the government in achieving its programmatic goals. 
BHW, through this project aim to attain the following change:
“A more responsive healthcare system that delivers more equitable, accessible and better-quality healthcare being informed by people’s voices”. Bangladesh Health Watch (BHW), är en oberoende plattform  inom hälsosektorn och arbetar inom ramarna för James P Grant School of Public Health under BRAC University. BHW grundades 2006 och har hittills publicerat sex Health Watch-rapporter om hälsofrågor (jämlik tillgång till hälsovård, hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal, förvaltning av hälsosektorn, allmän tillgång till hälsovård, urban hälsa och icke-smittsamma sjukdomar). Genom denna insats avser BHW ta en bredare och starkare roll för att ta upp frågor och problem som den nationella hälsosektorn står inför, föreslå lösningar och stödja regeringen i att uppnå sina programmål.
BHW, vill genom denna insats uppnå följande förändring:
”Ett mer lyhört hälso- och sjukvårdssystem som ger mer rättvis, tillgänglig och bättre kvalitet på vård som informerats av människors uttryckta behov. BHW, through this proposed project, will attain the following change (outcome/purpose):- 
A more responsive healthcare system that delivers better quality, more transparent and equitable healthcare for all being informed by peoples participation and voice. The above outcome will contribute to health of all citizens, especially marginalized, hard-to-reach, poor, populations particularly women and young girls. The following outputs will lead to the aforementioned outcome:
i. Civil society platforms/individual voices enabled to hold government (and other actors) accountable to major health sector commitments
ii. Changes in policy/practices as a result of evidence based advocacy carried out to improve the situation related to quality of care, transparency and equity
iii. Understanding of duty bearers on quality of care, transparency and equity enhanced.

In order to achieve the above three outputs, three main sets of activities, will be carried out: 
a) Planned advocacy to enable civil society platforms/individual voices to hold the government accountable to major health sector commitments  
b) Evidence based, topical advocacy on situation of quality of care, transparency and equity in the health sector 
c) A multi-pronged approach to improve awareness and understanding of duty-bearers on quality of care, accountability and equity.

The following assumptions will apply to the Theory of Change:
From Activities to Outputs
- CSOs will participate in BHW activities and share necessary information
- Government officials at all levels will be supportive to bring civil society inputs to improving performance of the sector
- Government officials will be open to constructive criticism
From Outputs to Outcome
- Government will remain committed to universal health coverage and SDGs
- Government will continue to prioritise Quality of Care, equity and accountability issues
- Government will remain committed to peoples participation and engagement
- Government will continue taking evidence based policy decisions
