WHO in the African Region and partners are advancing three complementary regional initiatives to accelerate implementation of the Africa Health Workforce Investment Charter and the emerging Africa Health Workforce Agenda 2035:

• Health Workforce Investment Charter implementation: institutionalizing Health Labour Market Analyses, convening national investment dialogues and establishing Health Workforce Investment Compacts that link workforce planning, financing and employment targets with universal health coverage (UHC) and national economic strategies.
• Health Workforce Education Harmonization Initiative: enhancing the quality and comparability of health professions education through competency-based curricula, education quality standards and benchmarking frameworks to promote mutual and reciprocal recognition and foster labour market integration.
• Africa Health Workforce Jobs, Enterprise and Retention Accelerator: promoting employment creation and retention through public-sector recruitment, private-sector engagement, entrepreneurship and diaspora investment.
