Approach
Overview
BG Laurel International Nigeria LTE/GTE is an owned subsidiary of Banyan Global, Inc, a woman-owned small business and international development consulting firm committed to improving livelihoods through market approaches for a broad and lasting impact. The firm is headquartered in Washington, DC and has program operations and activities in over fifteen countries around the world. Banyan Global operates within six practice areas: gender, youth, finance and investment, enterprise development, health, and evaluation and learning.
Banyan Global is the prime recipient of the USAID Nigeria Health Workforce Management (HWM) Activity. The HWM Activity is a five-year task order to support the establishment of a cost-effective, well-trained, and motivated health workforce, particularly in targeted rural and remote areas of Bauchi, Ebonyi, Kebbi, and Sokoto States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). By its conclusion, HWM is expected to increase the production of new health workers competent to respond to current and future population health needs in these locations by 10,000; improve the distribution and skill mix of front-line workers to meet specific local demands; and strengthen the capacity of pre-service institutions to adopt and apply innovative education approaches.
Targeted interventions will contribute to 1) improved management of maternal, child, and newborn health conditions and 2) increased responsiveness to community health needs. USAID will support the Government of Nigeria’s (GON’s) commitment to plan, recruit, train, manage, and retain its primary health care (PHC) workforce. This activity will contribute to the achievement of USAID/Nigeria’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) Development Objective 2 “a healthier, more educated population in targeted states” and Intermediate Result (IR) 2.1 “Utilization of quality health services in targeted areas and population groups increased.”
Background
The HWM Activity is learning that there is a need to increase the resource pool of Human Resources for Health (HRH) Managers due to the dearth in the number and capacity of HRH resource persons in the country. To address this capacity gap, HWM is developing an HRH Managers’ Training Program that will be domiciled in the HRH Branch of the Federal Ministry of Health (FMo H) and used by relevant Nigerian Health Training Institutes to train HRH Managers in the country.
This training program will not only capture the core competencies of a public civil servant but also capture the specialized skills expected of an HRH Manager as stipulated within the FMo H HRH Training Manual. Other resources that will be incorporated into this training program include the HWM-integrated HRH information system (i HRIS) training materials and the HWM-developed HRH in a Box tool. HRH in a Box comprises an HRH Management Tool and an HRH Managers Competency Checklist. The HRH Management Tool helps HRH Units reflect on their functions and processes, and the HRH Management Checklist ensures that HRH Managers fulfill their management responsibilities while utilizing relevant policy documents to inform HRH planning, management, and governance.
The target beneficiaries for this training program include:
- Directors of Health Planning, Research, and Statistics at national, state, and local levels.
- HRH Focal Persons at the Federal, State, and LGA levels.
- HRH Focal Persons at the Primary Healthcare Development Agencies /Boards.
- Other officers responsible for HRH development at the relevant ministries and agencies.
