This paper examines evidence from published literature on decentralization’s impact on the demand side of the human resource equation, as well as the factors that have contributed to the impact. The elements that make such an impact analysis exceptionally complex are identified. They include the mode of decentralization that a country is implementing, the level of responsibility for the salary budget and pay determination, and the civil service status of transferred health workers. The main body of the paper is devoted to examining decentralization’s impact on human resource issues from three different perspectives: that of local health managers, health workers themselves, and national health leaders.
