Experience for Global Roll-Out of PEPFAR Site-Level HRH Assessments: Lessons Learned and Recommendations from Malawi and Zambia

15 Dec Experience for Global Roll-Out of PEPFAR Site-Level HRH Assessments: Lessons Learned and Recommendations from Malawi and Zambia

With funding from PEPFAR, HRH2030 supported application of the PEPFAR Site-Level HRH Assessment methodology developed by the interagency PEPFAR HRH Technical Working Group (TWG). The assessment is meant to help identify areas for further investigation and intervention to ensure adequate staffing to reach 90-90-90 goals, optimize efficient use of health workers, identify HRH barriers to quality HIV service delivery, and inform program planning. Applied in Zambia and Malawi across select facilities, information collected on health worker availability, task allocation, and in-service HIV training yielded better understanding of HRH issues and constraints to consider for scale-up of HIV service delivery.

This report presents a summary of lessons learned from conducting assessments in Zambia and Malawi and provides recommendations for other countries seeking to further utilize the PEPFAR instrument and conduct site-level HRH assessments. The detailed results from each country assessment are reported in separate documents (see associated content below).
