The health labor market analysis aims to provide an overview and analysis of the current status of the health workforce in Timor-Leste. The findings will serve as an essential resource for the MOH in building and managing a health workforce that is fit-for-purpose and fit-for-practice, as it develops the next iteration of the multi-year NSPHRH.

This report summarizes the findings of said assessment conducted by the MOH’s newly established Cabinet for Licensing and Registration of Health Activities with support from the Activity.

This document outlines the strategic process of establishing a Health Financing Unit (HFU) by the Ministry of Health(MOH) and USAID Health System Sustainability Activity(the Activity). It highlights key milestones, challenges, and lessons learned, emphasizing stakeholder engagement and tailored capacity building.

This implementation guide provides details on how project teams and local partners may implement the various approaches contained in the strategy, including tools and templates that may be adapted to country and activity contexts.

LHSS partnered with colleagues working as part of the USAID MTaPS project to document a practical approach that countries can use to track pharmaceutical expenditure (PE) using the System of Health Accounts (SHA) 2011 framework. This resource contributes to efforts by the World Health Organization to develop global guidance on tracking of PE.

LHSS conducted a study of 37 countries to provide a better understanding of the strengths, opportunities, and gaps in the structures governing the provision of quality health services.

This report details case studies from Rwanda and Zambia which offer unique insights into the operationalization of National Quality Policies and Strategy (NQPS) within broader governance and quality of care reforms.

The purpose of the DACA was to assess: the Ministry of Health (MOH) data use and data quality processes; the opportunity and capacity of different levels of the health system to analyze data; health management information system (HMIS) governance; electronic HMIS deployment; the state of interoperability, and COVID-19 data capture. 

The purpose of Institutional Capacity Assessment is to identify interventions the Activity can undertake in partnership with the GoTL to strengthen their capacities to improve health-system governance and functioning. 

The Activity identified despite the many SBC interventions implemented in the communities, local organizations and especially the civil society organizations do not have sufficient capacity and resources to design, implement, and monitor evidence-based SBC activities. To address these issues, the Activity is partnering with a local organization to strengthen evidence-based design, implementation, and monitoring of SBC activities. The Activity is focusing on enabling local actors to lead implementation of an SBC activity while strengthening support for priority capacities.

This document explores the issues facing the Timorese health system, identifies the existing mechanisms for engagement between the MoH and CSOs, and offers recommendations to improve the engagement.
