To respond to the ICA findings and to address the issues noted above, USAID’s Health System Sustainability Activity (the Activity) worked with the NDHR and INS to develop training on health workforce data use for decision making. The training will use a problem-based, hands-on approach to train mid-level managers within the Directorate General of Corporate Services (DGCS) to use HRH data to identify challenges; conduct analysis; engage relevant stakeholders in the collection and sharing of HRH data; use of HRH data to support decision making. Most importantly, it will ensure equitable allocation of workforce and improve training and professional development opportunities for the health workforce across the country especially at the primary health care level.

USAID’s Health System Sustainability Activity (Activity) addresses systemic challenges to Timor-Leste’s self-reliance on low institutional capacity to generate and use data for decision-making.
The report will describe previous efforts to establish a health professional council, examine the current situation related to the management of health professionals’ competency, quality, and ethics; and assess the current roadblocks to establish a semi-autonomous health professional council.
This document builds on the rural retention desk review conducted by USAID’s Health System Sustainability Activity (the Activity). The desk review assessed WHO’s recommendations (WHO 2010) on approaches to increase recruitment and retention of health workers in rural and remote areas considering the Timor-Leste context and the country’s governing laws.
The manual clearly identifies the engagement mechanisms where REBAS-TL/CSOs could participate to discuss health issues that impact the population at national and municipality levels.
This brief strategy section will contextualize recruitment within the broader contexts of human resources for health and the broader health system, with the acknowledgment of the ultimate goal: to provide high-quality, accessible health care services to all Timorese people.
his document captures the progress so far in improving CSO-MoH engagement and the next steps.
The proposed Health Financing Unit will serve as the steward within the Ministry of Health (MOH) to ensure that sufficient funding is available to the health system and used effectively and efficiently to ensure the population’s access to public health services.
This short handbook presents information and guidance to inform the advocacy efforts of REBAS-TL and its member CSOs.
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.
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.

This learning resource presents key learning from the activity literature review, learning exchange meetings, and TA workshops. This resource focuses particularly on stakeholder engagement and institutionalizing stronger links between national health priorities, sector plans and national budgets, which learning partners identified as their most pressing issues.
This document outlines LHSS’s strategy for supporting the strengthening and scale up of local capacity through country and core activities. Designed for use by LHSS staff and local partners, this strategy provides a framework and details on how to develop, implement, monitor, and evaluate sustainable health system strengthening activities.
