Abstract
Health governance has become multi-layered as the combined result of decentralization, regional integration and the emergence of new
actors nationally and internationally. Whereas this has enhanced the
installed capacity for health response worldwide, this complexity also
poses serious challenges for health governance, health diplomacy and
health policy-making. This article focuses on one of these challenges,
namely the organization of statistical information flows at and between
governance levels, and the emerging role that regional organizations
play therein. Regional to national-level data flows are analyzed with the
use of two case studies focusing on UNASUR (Bolivia and Paraguay) and
SADC (Swaziland and Zambia). The results of the analysis lead to several policy recommendations at the regional and national levels.

期刊介绍:
Regions & Cohesionis the journal of the Consortium for Comparative Research on Regional Integration and Social Cohesion (RISC), a cross-regional, interdisciplinary, and multilingual network of socially conscious and prestigious research institutes in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Asia. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on the human and environmental impacts of regional integration processes. It disseminates conceptual and empirical research (articles) and normative analysis (Leadership Forum) of topics related to human and environmental security, social cohesion, and governance. The journal facilitates a cross-regional intellectual dialogue on timely political, social and environmental issues from a regional perspective and is especially committed to publishing scholarship from emerging/transition countries and developing states. Its multilingual (English, Spanish and French) and interdisciplinary character contribute to the journal’s originality in providing an inclusive forum for scholars and practitioners in different world regions to engage in important international discussions related to sustainable human development. This dialogue reflects RISC’s mission of connecting scholars and practitioners from different world regions who otherwise would not have the opportunity to interact.
