2030 Strategic Plan

Goal 1. Build the Health Workforce of the Future

Country Partnership

• Continue and deepen our partnerships with the governments of Malawi, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Zambia to build and strengthen their national health workforces to close human resource gaps, expand access and improve patient quality of care, and save lives.
• Support our government partners to scale, replicate, and expand proven approaches and interventions to additional sites when and where appropriate.

Climate and Pandemic Resilience

• Educate, train, and mentor health workers to recognize and confront the health threats created by climate change, provide high-quality care and advise patients how to take care of their health during climate and other emergencies, and problem solve when challenges and emergencies arise.
• Integrate the health effects of climate change into health professional school curricula when and where appropriate.

Goal 2. Advance the Health Workforce as a Global Priority

Policy

• Advocate for new and strengthened global, regional, and national policies to educate, support, protect, absorb, and sustain the health workforce.

Financing

• Advocate for increased international and domestic investments, development funding, and philanthropic giving to strengthen the global health workforce, especially across Africa.
• Champion the need for financing to be flexible, long-term, and adapted to local needs.

Climate Change and Health

• Raise awareness about the effects of climate change on human health and wellbeing and the need to strengthen health systems and the health workforce as critical adaptation measures.
• Work across our four partner countries to support them to address and prepare for the impact of climate change on their health systems.
