Technical cooperation involves providing know-how through personnel, training, research, and associated costs to build technical capacity. Some challenges to delivering technical cooperation in ECC include weak health systems, weak networks between islands, and limited funds. Potential solutions are to prioritize human resource development and efficient service delivery models based on primary health care, design reference systems to provide more access to health services efficiently, make efficient use of existing funds and orient external funds to local needs.
