NINTH GAVI BOARD MEETING
Dakar, 18-19 November 2002
7 Human Resources for Immunization
Paper (Word - 1347K)
Discussion
- The human resource issue is critical for sustainable immunization and the success of GAVI. However, efforts to address human resources for immunization cannot be conducted in isolation but should be part of a process to improve human resource capacity across the health system.
- Board members stressed the need to address human resource issues from the country perspective, and that external assistance can be only part of the solution.
- It might be valuable to examine a number of specific cases that exemplify two distinct categories of countries: 1) countries with good governance and strong leadership; and 2) countries in complex emergencies. It may be that for countries in complex emergencies, a broader health system approach is not feasible.
DECISION
The Board:
- 1.1 Requested that Julian Lob-Levyt, with support of WHO and UNICEF, take the lead in developing an effort that would look at a few specific country examples to examine actual human resource challenges and potential solutions. He will report on his progress at a forthcoming Board teleconference.
