Strengthening the Health Workforce Needed to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals

CapacityPlus serves partner countries and multilateral organizations by offering state-of-the-art expertise, models, tools, training, and analyses adapted to each context. These services help countries move closer to having the right health worker in the right place with the right skills and support. We work with public, nonprofit, faith-based, and for-profit organizations contributing to better human resources for health (HRH).

Through service and partnership, CapacityPlus accelerates progress toward national goals for improving maternal and child health, increasing access to family planning and reproductive health services, heightening access to HIV/AIDS services, and reducing the toll of malaria, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases.
