This learning brief can be used as a resource for HRH managers, planners, program managers, and frontline practitioners to learn how other countries are approaching and successfully designing and implementing solutions to their HRH challenges. It can also be used as a reference for health policy makers, funders, and implementing partners to inform the design and implementation of HRH resource optimization initiatives covered in this brief.

In this webinar, we share best practices and learn how these efforts have helped to improve equitable access to care for vulnerable population groups including migrants, people living with HIV, and people living with TB.

This two-pager focuses on USAID’s Learning Question 1, “What are the contributions of systems thinking approaches and tools to changes in health system outcomes? How do systems thinking approaches affect health system outcomes?”

An LHSS grantee in Colombia helps Venezuelan migrants understand how to obtain health services -- while gaining valuable knowledge and skills to strengthen its own organizational capacity.

This Catalog allows practitioners to consider which interventions have more robust evidence bases to support their practical application, such as: enhancing worker and supervisor competencies through training, offering nonfinancial incentives for high performers, practicing task sharing to promote cost savings, implementing digital solutions to expand access to services, and reducing costs of procuring and distributing pharmaceutical products.

On April 27, 2023, local actors met to celebrate achievements, discuss challenges and opportunities, and highlight advances in sustainable integration of the Venezuelan migrant population, Colombian returnees, and host communities.

This two-pager focuses on USAID’s Learning Question 5, “What are effective and sustainable mechanisms or processes that enable the participation of private sector, civil society, and public organizations in developing locally-led solutions to improve high-performing health care, especially for poor and vulnerable populations? What enables the effective participation or leadership of marginalized populations themselves in the development and implementation of these solutions? Under what conditions is this participation different?”

This Year 4 Quarter 2 Report (Jan-Mar 2023) was prepared for USAID and provides a progress update for all annual work plan activities. 

This primer is designed to help supply chain practitioners in governments, the private sector, donor agencies, and implementing partners understand the value of political economy analysis (PEA) and how it can help improve outcomes when implementing supply chain interventions and reforms. 

Three LHSS experts discuss what a resilient health system looks like, and how countries can shift from reacting to health emergencies to building in preparedness.

New efforts will make health care more affordable for residents in 10 municipalities.

The Local Health System Sustainability Project (LHSS) helps countries achieve sustainable, self-financed health systems that offer quality health care for all. This fact sheet summarizes our approach and technical areas of expertise.

The purpose of this report is to document the capacity strengthening process to promote the inclusion of the migrant population into the health system after almost one year of implementation. This process has already produced several products and results that can be replicated in other organizations and entities. The products and learnings here can be applied both for the inclusion of the migrant population into the health system and to strengthen the health system for the general population.

This Spanish document presents the main results and progress that were made toward sustainability. Notably, the process of strengthening organizational capacities of Healthy Communities is aligned with USAID's CLA1 management approach. This document will be constituted as a succinct report of the process of strengthening organizational capacities that serves as a reference and technical element of consultation that contribute to organizational development processes.

This summary describes the principal results of the assessment and LHSS’s successes thus far in supporting its counterparts in strengthening their capacity in a sustainable manner. This brief report can serve as a reference or technical input for consultation, thus contributing to the organizational-capacity strengthening process.
