Types of fundable HRH interventions Table 2, below, shows where language was found that pertained to a specific aspect of HRH. Language can be very broad and subject to an inclusive interpretation or alternatively quite specific and directive. Some highlights: • Overall, the four GHIs combined addressed in some respect most of the domains related to HRH although they varied by the amount of on-line guidance available to countries. • All GHIs had some level of general guidance on pre-service education for direct, clinical health workers and three GHIs had guidance on in-service education for these workers, and all GHIs had guidance on general workforce capacity strengthening for all health workers as well as for general infrastructure improvements and training of health managers. • PEPFAR had explicit guidance on training different types of direct, clinical health workers. • GAVI and WB more frequently addressed specific areas of financial incentives, such as topups, pay-for-performance, and general recruitment support. • None of the GHIs had explicit guidance in relation to the use of funding for rural allowances. • WB had explicit guidance on supporting continuous professional development and career paths for all types of health workers.

Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008. information retrieved on January 15, 2009 from: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c110:1:./temp/~c110mj9jUg: 5 PEPFAR technical considerations, which are sent to the countries but are not included in the COP guidance, state that support for retention strategies, including rural retention, can be supported by PEPFAR funds. Types of fundable health workers An additional and important component of GHI guidance is whether it spells out which types of workers may benefit from GHI financing at the country level. At the GHI level, PEPFAR guidance is the most specific: it explicitly lists health care professionals (doctors, nurses, and midwives), paraprofessionals, and community health workers (with a minimum of 6 months of training) as direct, clinical workers, in whose pre-service training countries may wish to invest. Similarly, it explicitly includes doctors, nurses, and community health workers as potential targeted groups for in-service training. Finally, PEPFAR guidance targets all groups – doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, technicians, and community health workers – when it comes to achieving an appropriate mix of providers. In contrast, GAVI, World Bank, and the Global Fund do not have this level of specificity but our review of country applications funded by each GHI reveals that funds have been approved to support varied types of health workers depending on country need (see next section for more details). Comparing approved country applications and GHI guidance Table 4 compares each GHI guidance with pertinent individual country applications (20 in toto were reviewed). As these tables illustrate, language found in country applications covered more domains and sub-domains than the GHI guidance, indicating that GHIs are flexible over what they actually fund on an individual, case-by-case basis. In the area of HRH, countries most frequently requested funding for in-service training, particularly for direct, clinical health workers. GAVI In five country applications out of a total eight reviewed, GAVI funded in-service training for, among other types of cadres, district-level professionals, teams for supportive supervision, Primary Health Care (PHC) staff trained on Maternal and Child Health (MCH) and Primary Health (PH) services (Armenia), health district management teams (Central African Republic), Health Extension Workers (Ethiopia), PHC workers (Nigeria), and village health teams (Uganda). 225
