Summary: Following the Toronto Call for Action, a partnership was developed between representatives of the Jamaica Ministry of Health and a research team from the WHO/PAHO Collaborating Centre in Workforce Planning and Research at Dalhousie University in Canada that aimed to build capacity for needs-based Human Resources for Health (HRH) planning in Jamaica while informing HRH planning in Canada through knowledge exchange between both countries. Supported by Jamaica’s Ministry of Health (MOH) as well as Health Canada and the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO), work on the project began in late 2007. The project is guided by a steering committee of key stakeholders in HRH from across Jamaica.

Summary: Increased attention to the strengthening of health systems would not be sustainable in the absence of a sound monitoring strategy that enables decision-makers to accurately track health progress and performance, evaluate impact, and ensure accountability at country and global levels. This handbook describes a set of indicators and related measurement strategies, structured around the WHO framework that describes health systems in terms of six “building blocks”: service delivery, health workforce, information, medicines, financing and governance.

Summary: The objective of this paper is to take stock of the available methods and tools for health workforce planning and projections, and to describe the processes and resources needed to undertake such an exercise. Including this introduction, the paper is divided into four sections. In the next section, an overview of workforce projection models and their applications is presented. Then the operationalization of selected models is described in some detail. Lastly, the pathways by which projection results can be optimized to inform decision-making for policies and programmes are discussed.
