Introduction
A service of CapacityPlus, led by IntraHealth International, Inc., the HRH Global Resource Center (GRC) supports human resources for health (HRH) stakeholders and decision makers by providing essential HRH information.
The HRH Global Resource Center aims to:
- create and maintain a global exchange of HRH evidence, tools and innovation;
- foster learning, knowledge sharing and dialogue across sectors, geographical barriers and cultural boundaries; and
- accelerate the implementation of evidence-based HRH solutions.
Services
In addition to maintaining a growing collection of HRH resources, the HRH Global Resource Center offers:
- Personlized librarian support: The GRC librarians can help you locate resources for your work and assist you in finding useful documents in the collection. To request assistance, please use the simple forms on the Contact Us page.
- Hosting services: Resources created or used in developing countries, such as national HRH strategic plans, are a priority for the GRC. We are happy to consider hosting any such documents that are not currently available on the web as long as we receive permission from the publishing organization. Please contact us about posting a resource.
- Special collections: We welcome collaborative endeavors with projects working in the field of HRH that do not have a website. The GRC can provide more extensive hosting services for these project resources and can offer an individualized page on the GRC to showcase your work. Please contact us if you have questions about this service.
- Original content: The GRC produces regular News articles, Resource Spotlights, Leaders in Action Interviews and a monthly Newsletter. We have also created a Tutorial on how to use the GRC and selected Subject Guides to introduce important HRH topics and help users find more information in the GRC collection.
As a user driven site, we highly encourage your suggestions and feedback through our Contact Us page and the User Survey.

Resource Selection Policy
The GRC collection is amassed through web searching and contributions from staff and other users of the website. Please use our feedback form to provide your comments on existing resources or to suggest new resources. If you require additional information about a resource or wish to order copies of a resource, please contact the publisher directly.
To ensure that the included resources are useful, the following policies are being followed:
- The person and/or organization responsible for the resource must be clearly indicated.
- The resource must be freely available or available at a minimal cost (either on the web or in hard copy) in developing countries.
- Draft documents or working documents that are publicly available may be included as long as they are clearly indicated as such.
- To avoid information overload, the resource must be narrowly focused on the topic of HRH or one of its major sub-topics. For example, an article on training a new cadre of health workers to administer ARV treatment is appropriate. A medical article on ARV treatment would not be included.
The HRH Global Resource Center and CapacityPlus do not endorse or recommend any particular resource. Rather, the collection is meant to serve the global community of individuals working in the field of HRH by centralizing access to the growing body of HRH evidence. The resource links will take you off the HRH Global Resource Center website. Linking to these external sites does not constitute or imply an endorsement of the sites' resources and content by CapacityPlus. The views and opinions expressed in these sites do not necessarily reflect those of the HRH Global Resource Center, CapacityPlus, its partners or the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
CapacityPlus
CapacityPlus is the USAID-funded global project uniquely focused on the health workforce needed to achieve theMillennium Development Goals. A trained, motivated, and accessible health workforce can provide access to vital health information, services, and commodities. Yet there is a global shortage of 4.3 million health workers, and the World Health Organization has named 57 countries that are facing a health worker crisis.
Placing health workers at the center of every effort, CapacityPlus helps partner countries achieve significant progress in addressing the health worker crisis while also having global impact through alliances with multilateral organizations. The project builds on the accomplishments of the Capacity Project, which worked in 47 countries.
