| Name | Zanzibar Health Care Worker Productivity Study: Preliminary Study Findings |
| Description | In 2002, Zanzibar initiated health sector reform. One of the reform’s principal aims was to decentralize the planning, prioritizing and integration of health services to the district level. As part of the push toward decentralization, the reform plan also emphasized improvements at community-level facilities to ensure the availability of high quality services and an essential primary health care package. In 2006, assessment of the reform process resulted in a new strategic plan (the Zanzibar Health Sector Reform Strategic Plan II, or ZHSRSP II). Improving the quality of care and productivity of health care workers at all levels of the health care system is a principal goal in the ZHSRSP II, through strategies such as strengthening human resources for health, improving efficiency through integration of services and decentralizing health service delivery. To support these efforts, the Capacity Project (in partnership with the MOHSW) is carrying out the Zanzibar Project to Support Greater Productivity, a five-phase initiative to investigate productivity in the health care sector and select, implement and evaluate interventions to improve health worker efficiency. The Project completed a baseline study in the summer of 2006, followed in November by a stakeholder workshop to present the study results, analyze the most significant productivity gaps and identify and select interventions to improve productivity. |
