(KI 13: chairperson of health center GC), Some members were interested to be members of HFGC with the intention of receiving allowances and other payments, therefore the absence of such allowances has discouraged them to participate in HFGC activities. The findings from the youth survey indicate that the major factor of youth motivation for program participation is related to meeting personal goals. Members of HFGC reported that after their appointment as members of the committees, they never received any capacity building training concerning management in general and planning in particular.

Community participation is regarded as an important tool for successful health sector development and it has been talked about since the mid-1950s (1, 2).

The framework includes a comprehensive list of barriers and facilitators to implementing health systems interventions including stakeholder knowledge and attitudes, health service delivery factors, and social and political considerations. Lack of management capacity particularly in planning skills among HFGC members was a common concern raised in this study. I do not know what is the cause of such failure? However, the supportive supervision checklist used by CHMT to supervise health facilities does not provide room for discussing issues relating to CCHP.

These results are similar to those found in other studies (3739) who pointed out that the capacity of such committees to perform their functions was constrained by inadequate resources. Awareness of CCHP was found to be higher among CHMT members due to the fact that they are the ones responsible for preparing and coordinating the implementation of the CCHPs. The key informants from HFGC pointed out that the higher-level authority does not disseminate important information for developing and implementing facility plans and CCHP to health centers and dispensary committees.

A respondent from the dispensary governing committee said: the existing system of information sharing between CHMT and HFGCs is not adequate. Some communities had limited access to facilities because of distance, difficult terrain and lack of funds for transport, while health service providers may face problems trying to reach communities and supervise community health workers [16, 18, 19]. Systems Thinking for Health Systems Strengthening. Respondents reported lack of a specific budget in the Council Health Plan for financing HFGC activities. Barbey et al.

The interview indicated that there is little support from government authorities at the district and village level to support the HFGCs in implementation of their roles especially in preparing and implementing the health facility plans. They included forming stakeholder committees [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21], mobilizing communities to take action [14, 22,23,24,25], community based monitoring of health outcomes or services [17,18,19, 25, 26], community outreach activities to increase awareness of health issues [13, 16, 27] and facilitating stakeholder dialogues [19, 28].

This situation has contributed to poor performance of HFGCs as narrated by one respondent: You know lack of budget for supporting the organization of the HFGCs meetings; it is not possible to have effective committees as originally intended. The study found that there were no official documents available at the lower level health facility level regarding roles and responsibilities, which could guide the daily operations of the committees.

In addition, during the supportive supervision CHMT do not provide feedback or hold special meetings with the HFGC for discussing various issues related to the facilities including the health plans. Article (KI 3: member of health center GC). Respondents cited supportive supervision as the major means of information sharing between the district level and facility level. The identified challenges facing the HFGCs in the development and implementation of CCHP calls for policy makers both at national and district levels to revisit the decentralization by devolution policy by ensuring that local governance structures have adequate resources as well as autonomy to participate in planning and managing CCHP in general and health facility plans in particular. From the CHMT, it was found that the only CCHP activity implemented directly at the health facility level is the ordering and receiving of drugs through an Integrated Logistic System (ILS). The authors declare that they have no competing interests. For example, several studies describe how community, facility and government stakeholders needed time to develop ways of planning and working together which did not always fit programme timelines [15, 19,20,21,22,23, 27].

Lack of budget negatively affects the implementation of HFGC activities as narrated by one of the respondents: Lack of transport allowance for attending meeting has significantly affected the functioning of our committee as people tend to escape HFGC scheduled regular meetings for this reason. Sometimes communities had limited understanding of how to interpret and manage health data, which hindered effectiveness of community based monitoring [17,18,19]. (KI 2: CHMT member). A respondent from the health center governing committee said: What I can say is that I do not know about CCHP and I see this is new object to me and to my committee; maybe there is another language which is used to describe it, but since my appointment to this committee I have never been informed or taught anything about CCHP.

Current limited evidence suggests that the vision of community participation as a process and the presence of a focus to strengthen community capacity to participate and to improve health may be a key factor for long term success. In addition, participation interventions helped community members improve their knowledge and skills about maternal and newborn health, which enabled them to carry out specific health related tasks or functions [13, 14, 17, 18, 22, 23].
