08 Jun Timor Leste Training Management Information System Training Manuals and Sustainability Plan
As Timor Leste is transitioning from a post-conflict environment, the country faces many human resources for health (HRH) challenges including fragmented human resources planning due to limited completeness and quality of HRH training data, and limited capacity of mid-level managers to use HRH and other health systems data for evidence-informed decision-making; inadequate in-service training and continuing professional development; and limited performance management and support. From May 2020 through February 2021, HRH2030 supported Timor Leste’s National Institute of Health (INS) in improving its in-service training management information system (TMIS) and providing trainings to strengthen its ability to coordinate and implement strategic in-service training programs and ensure standardized, accurate, complete, and up-to date training data.
For this work, HRH2030, in close collaboration with INS, developed the below resources.
