7. Recruitment to retention ‘pipeline’
Adapted from: Vujicic et al, 2006
• Shortage of
health workers
in Africa in
2013 = 4.2M
• Shortage of
18M health
workers to
meet SDGs
• 100M children no 1o
Education
• 18 countries with
Lower 2o pupil :
teacher ratio >30:1
8. Comparing HR in health and educations sectors in MLICs
Similarities
largest public sector workforce
difficult to staff in remotest areas
traditionally high proportion of
females
historically high engagement of
FBOs
increasing privatisation of
professional training and service
delivery
both sectors have dedicated HR
targets in their respective SDGs
?powerful unions
?use of performance-based
incentives
Differences
complexity of cadres in health vs
simpler structure in education
high level of international migration
of health professionals vs lower for
education sector
less predictable workloads in health
(Hanson 2015)
?greater use of task-shifting in
health

10. Context of fragile and conflict-affected states
Since 2010, all major donors have published frameworks for programming in
FCAS development projects need to be sensitive to how interventions shape
the broader state-building and conflict dynamics within which they operate.
DFID increased spending in FCAS to 30% of UK ODA by 2014-15, representing
an 86% increase since 2010. In November 2015 HMG made a commitment to
allocate 50% of all DFID’S spending to fragile states and regions.
This commitment, combined with the reduction in number of DFID priority
countries from 43 to 28 following the 2011 Bilateral Aid Review, and
commitment to spend 0.7% GNI on ODA have led to a significant absolute
increase in DFID’s expenditure on FCAS.
Range of scenarios of FCAS:
– Humanitarian assistance (less in education)
– Reconstruction phase
– Development phase
– Transition from one to another
11. Challenges of working in fragile and conflict-affected states
Being conflict sensitive – who you engage with, how and where. Adverse
impacts of certain health interventions e.g. Taliban's offensive against the polio
vaccinations in Pakistan.
Access – e.g attacks on hospitals in Syria and Afghanistan.
Lack of strong institutions – gaps in regulatory, legislative and policy framework
e.g. Somalia.
Questions of equity of access
Limited infrastructure e.g. roads, electricity, water
12. Objective of the session
explore the potential for cross-sectoral learning,
and attempt to draw out some initial lessons
about challenges and effective strategies that
could further strengthen human resources in the
fields of education and health in complex
contexts and redress the current sectoral silos

Floor discussion
Wrap-up and conclusions
HEART 13
14. Floor discussion in HR in health and education in FCAS
What are the most important common challenges?
What are the differences?
Where could there be greater collaboration
between the two sectors? (programme design,
research, etc)
What specific help do donors and governments
want?
Shortage of health workers in Africa in 2013 = 4.2M (GHWA strategy)
Conversely, there will be a projected shortage of 18 million health workers to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, mostly in low- and lower-middle income countries. Source: High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth

Since 2010, all major donors have published frameworks for programming in FCAS. This is in response to research that emphasises the feedback loops between inclusive political settlements, core state capacity, and legitimacy in forming a social contract that is the basis of sustainable development.
Donors reason that development projects need to be sensitive to how interventions shape the broader statebuilding and conflict dynamics within which they operate.
DFID increased spending in FCAS to 30% of UK ODA by 2014-15, representing an 86% increase since 2010. In November 2015 HMG made a commitement to allocate 50% of all DFID’S spending to fragile states and regions.
This commitment, combined with the reduction in number of DFID priority countries from 43 to 28 following the 2011 Bilateral Aid Review, and commitment to spend 0.7% GNI on ODA have led to a significant absolute increase in DFID’s expenditure on FCAS .
Range of scenarios of FCAS
Hummanitarian assistance eg. for IDPs
Reconstruction phase
Development phase
Transition from one to another
