Working with the Tanzania Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW), the Capacity Project recently helped to organize and facilitate a three-day workshop that culminated in the finalization and adoption of a human resources for health (HRH) strategic plan.

Voices from the Capacity Project

“The HRH Global Resource Center is the preeminent resource on HR that serves the developing world, and maybe even the developed world, in health,” says Tim Martineau, senior lecturer in HR management at the International Health Research Group, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

To foster a global exchange of human resources for health (HRH) evidence, tools and innovation, the Capacity Project created a searchable collection of HRH resources with librarian support. Launched in May 2006, the HRH Global Resource Center now has over 1,500 resources to support HRH in developing countries and help the health community address workforce challenges.

This online library (www.hrhresourcecenter.org) holds a rapidly growing collection of reports, journal articles, tools and features with a special focus on country-level documents. The site receives an average of over 35,000 visits each month from users in 171 countries. Users can subscribe to a monthly e-mail newsletter that alerts them to new resources and updates.
