Purpose

• Need for guidance and examples of good quality HRH research framed by health policy and systems research (HPSR)

Audiences• HRH community, whether 

engaged with HPSR or not• HPSR community, whether 

engaged with HRH or not• Teaching postgraduate 

candidates interested in HRH & HPSR 

• Policy makers and funders supporting HRH & HPSR

Need for HPSR Reader on HRH 

“I believe that the Reader is an essential and timely resource that will in the forthcoming years be increasingly used for teaching and capacity development on HRH as a key component of health policy and systems for researchers and practitioners alike”. Dr Naoko Yamamoto, ADG, UHC and Health Systems, WHO

HPSR pushing the boundaries of HRH research

– From instruments to actors– From focus on training, recruitment and deployment to retention, migration, dual practice, accountability, informal markets

– Diversity of HRH (e.g. beyond the main five)– Complexity and fluidity of health systems– Centrality of culture, politics and governance
