Key topics: Health, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Research

Regions: Global, Sub-Saharan Africa

This resource documents recommended actions from a series of learning sessions with stakeholder groups involved with the Government of Rwanda’s Human Resources for Health Program. These sessions were conducted as follow-up to an evaluation of the program, which EnCompass supported.

This resource moves beyond Rwanda’s borders, providing practical actions that can strengthen the health workforce in other countries. The suggested actions reflect considerations for evidence gathering and use, professional exchange programs, country-led approaches, and other areas where health workforce stakeholders can work together to create a coherent, effective, and resilient health system. They are also applicable to planning for other health workforce challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
