On July 13th and 20th, 2021, HRH2030, USAID, and Taiwan International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF) hosted online trainings on Health Workforce Management and Data Systems: A Focus on Pacific Island Countries and Health System Resilience. This two-part training series was created for health system managers, leaders, and decision-makers in the Pacific Island region to help overcome gaps in knowledge of human resources for health management and human resource information systems. Over 40 participants from 10 countries attended the training.

The first session highlighted the importance of and how to use data and evidence to make decisions on HRH priorities; using NHWA and HRIS to improve the availability and use of quality data; and identifying HRH priorities and data challenges. It featured results from an HRH2030 review of secondary data in 12 Pacific Island countries that examined available HRH information. Some of the key takeaways from this research are: 1) opportunities exist to build capacity to fully implement task shifting and provide better primary health care in more communities; and 2) while there is limited capacity at the facility level for HRH management, there is untapped potential of supportive supervision systems at the provincial and district levels to improve quality of care and workforce performance. The second session focused on using existing tools, approaches, and investments needed to improve the availability and quality of HRH data, and the ability to use HRH data to support health system resilience for future emergency response. The series included opening and closing remarks from USAID and TaiwanICDF representatives, presentations by HRH2030 technical experts Rachel Deussom, Leah McManus, and Amy Sedig, and interactive group activities.
