Amref Health Africa I Institute of Capacity Development

The African continent faces human resources for health (HRH) challenges including shortages, capacity and retention of health workers. Health workforce labour market projections show that there will be a significant shortage of over 6 million skilled health workers by 2030 in sub Saharan Africa! This challenge is what Amref Health Africa’s Institute of Capacity Development (ICD) seeks to address.
The Institute rolls out interventions to resolve Human Resources for Health (HRH) pain points including quantity, quality and skills shortages of health workers, inadequate budgets, mentorship, poor management and governance, miserable working environments and low comparable wages leading to brain drain.

At the core of our work is our communities. The Institute operates a unique model that leverages on strong partnerships with our communities, the public, private and development partners, world-leading innovative and creative solutions, extensive HRH experience and deep contextual knowledge to deliver outstanding sustainable interventions in HRH towards the achievement of Universal Health Coverage in the region.
