Part 3 Way forward
Lessons learned from other regions Part 3 1. Inadequate dialogues between stakeholders => Information was not adequately shared between the sectors 2. In particular, health professional associations are not adequately involved. => involvement of non-state stakeholders is key. 3. Stakeholders’ involvement had been limited to validation of HRH strategy and plan. => they would like themselves to be more involved.
Way forward, to start CCF Part 3 3. Discuss how the HRH costed plan should be • Open a dialogue between key stakeholders 2. Think about organizing national HRH committee ? 4. Identify local institute & the Alliance partner 5. Request for CCF support from GHWA, if needed Then,the CCF process starts
