CapacityPlus Technical Brief #16 (Interactive Version)

Faith-based organizations (FBOs) make immense contributions to the health sector in many parts of the world. Yet they are often not integrated into planning and resource allocations for national health systems, leading to service and system redundancies and gaps. FBOs also face numerous human resources for health (HRH) challenges, similar to other public- and private-sector institutions providing health services. The Africa Christian Health Associations Platform (ACHAP) has strengthened its members’ capacities to address HRH challenges with support from CapacityPlus. This technical brief presents examples from ACHAP members’ efforts to strengthen HRH and integrate FBOs into national health systems and the HRH community. The brief highlights achievements in selected areas, provides lessons learned, and offers seven key recommendations for furthering FBOs’ efforts.

iHRIS User: Level I

This free eLearning course hosted by CapacityPlus’s HRH Global Resource Center provides instructions on how to set up and manage human resources data in iHRIS Manage, which supports ministries of health and other service delivery organizations to track, manage, deploy, and map their health workforces. Information on managing employee and job applicant data, as well as training data, is included. Each module is designed to be used separately, as an online help guide, to teach human resources staff and hiring managers how to use the software. The modules use audio as well as visual teaching aids to reduce any potential learning barriers. The course was developed using the open source learning platform Moodle so that it can be easily exported and modified for use in different countries. For example, a module teaching specific customizations for that country can easily be created and added to the full course. Also see the related course, iHRIS Administrator: Level I.
