A REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE

Greetings! I am writing to request your assistance on behalf of The Capacity Project, a USAID funded project that aims to build human capacity to implement quality health programs throughout the world.

The Capacity Project is being implemented by a consortium of organizations: Interchurch Medical Assistance is one of the consortium members. IMA is on the project to try to bring FBOs or Private-Not-For-Profit Organizations into the dialogue around the Human Resource for Health crisis, and to include them as a key partner in the solutions.

We are currently studying two topics and I am hoping that you can help me find any reports/studies/documents/meeting agendas (preferably electronic) that discuss:

1. Meetings or collaboration between the public sector (MOH) and the private or FBO sector preceding the formation of Health Sector Strategic Plans or Human Resource Plans.

We are trying to determine the planning mechanisms that go into these Strategies, who is brought to the table, and how the Private Not-For-Profit sector is working in collaboration with the public sector.

2. FBOs and Retention of health workers - policies, practices, strategies within FBOs to improve retention of the health workforce.

I will be happy to share the findings with any of you that are interested or that can respond to my query.

Thank you very much in advance for your collaboration. You can contact me via nancybolan@interchurch.org.

Sincerely,
Nancy Bolan
Interchurch Medical Assistance
