An approach that assists policy-makers, managers, and HR practitioners to assess and respond to underlying HR management issues facing the health system.

CapacityPlus is a USAID-funded project led by IntraHealth International that has worked in over 20 countries to address the global health workforce shortage. In Uganda, CapacityPlus is partnering with the Uganda Capacity Program to support the Ugandan government’s efforts to strengthen its health workforce and increase access to quality care. The country has only 14 doctors, nurses, and midwives for every 10,000 people, far below the 23 recommended by the World Health Organization. By focusing on the people who provide quality care in Uganda, service delivery is improving. Other countries can make improvements by adapting the tools and approaches that Uganda has successfully used.
