New Guide Promotes Human Resources for Health Action Framework


MSH is pleased to announce the publication of a new human resources for health (HRH) tool, A Guide to Develop and Implement Strategies to Achieve an Effective and Sustainable Health Workforce. 

This guide supports the implementation of the HRH Action Framework (HAF), which was developed by representatives of multilateral and bilateral agencies, donors, partner countries, NGOs, and the academic community in Washington, DC in December 2005. 

The goal of this publication is to increase awareness of the Framework and encourage more people to use the HAF website, which is a central repository of information, tools, resources, and up-to-date country experiences related to human resources for health.  

Government officials and health managers will find the guide a practical resource as they develop and implement their own human resource strategies.  

Funding for the publication was provided by USAID’s Office of HIV/AIDS under MSH’s Leadership, Management and Sustainability Program.
