HGI Signs an MOU with AMREF Health Africa
During this occasion, both Amref Health Africa and HGI discussed the next steps on how to advance the cooperation forward. Key challenges facing the Health Workforce in Africa were explored and an initial plan was identified. A policy brief on Health Workforce Governance in Africa was released. It intends to advocate for public and private institutions and agencies to mobilize investments for stronger capacity development initiatives for enhanced Health Workforce Governance Structures, Systems, and Skills for the countries within the African Union.
This policy brief explores governance as critical to market performance for Human Resources for Health. Ineffective stewardship and poor governance of HRH undermine the performance of health systems and prevent them from realizing their full potential. Absence of mechanisms to orchestrate the efforts of actors and incentivize/restrain behaviours would result in market failures and perverse incentives that result in duplication, waste, inefficiency, poor quality, inequities and several other issues that undermine health outcomes. However, fostering effective stewardship and promoting good governance generates value for all stakeholders.
