With the World Health Organization (WHO) estimating a projected shortfall of 10 million health workers by 2030, particularly in lower-middle-income countries (LMICs), health workforce development initiatives are present in nearly all USAID-funded health projects. In this webinar, Management Sciences for Health (MSH) discusses such country partnerships in Kenya (USAID-The Medicines Technologies, and Pharmaceutical Services [MTaPS] Program), Rwanda (USAID-IREME), and Uganda (USAID-Strengthening Supply Chain Systems [SSCS] Activity), focusing on how various health workforce interventions are taking a systems-approach to capacity strengthening in order to ensure that improvements last beyond the project cycle and are managed under the ongoing custodianship of local actors. The session also highlights a set of WHO/Geneva workforce development tools aimed at strengthening capacity of the local health workforce.
