Emerging from analysis are a series of key considerations in the design and implementation of mobilisation activities in poor urban settlements. These include who best to mobilise in highly stratified social settings; how to bridge communities in need with outside resources; the role of development agents in organising participation; whether mobilisation processes can be phased over time; and the imperative of policy advocacy to shift complex structural inequities that preclude investments in health care for the urban disadvantaged.en-USSocial sectorHealth AidCapacity developmentGovernance and public policySouth AsiaJournal Articlehttps://doi.org/10.1080/09614524.2020.1862763
