This paper reviews the development of the Community-based Heath Planning and Services (CHPS) Initiative, describes the processes of implementation and relates the initiative to the principles of scaling up organizational change which it embraces. Over a 2-year period, 104 out of 110 districts in Ghana started CHPS, employing strategies tested in the successful Navrongo experiment to guide national health reforms and mobilize volunteerism, resources and cultural institutions for supporting community-based primary health care. Evidence from the national monitoring and evaluation programme provides insights into the CHPS’ success and identifies constraints on future progress.
