Malawi, Human Resources for Health, Sector Strategic Plan, 2003 to 2013 (Draft)

This document is a draft statement of the strategic human resource (HR) plan of action for the next ten years (2003–2013). It is a draft because there remain substantive decisions to be made by senior officers of the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) on the content of the plan before it can be finalised. Its purpose is to provide a foundation on which to build human resource development in the MOHP and the health sector as a whole. The HR strategic plan is intended to accomplish three things. These are: to specify the direction of growth of development of HR; to specify outline HR objectives for the medium term which provide a framework for short-term plan development; to identify short-term actions and, in particular, policy actions which are needed for the MOH to proceed towards the medium-term future.
