The goal of the Nyanza Leadership and Management Training Initiative
is to improve health service delivery in Nyanza Province by increasing
the skills and capacities of health program managers–including those on
the FACES, provincial, and district health management teams–to
effectively and efficiently manage human, fiscal, and capital resources
as well as transfer management skills to facilities in their districts.
The training program is tailored to the specific needs and realities of
the health care system in Nyanza and is integrated into the existing
annual workplan process.
The launch of the initiative includes a 5-day training that covers the first two modules of the training: 1) Leadership and Team Building and 2) Human Resource Management and Supervision. These modules were selected based on results of a thorough needs assessment.
