• Background to the Assignment

In a growing number of organizations, including Government Ministries; human resources are now viewed as a source of competitive advantage. High quality workforce enables organizations to be more responsive to the needs of their customers and deliver higher quality services. Human resources must be recognised as a strategic resource and an effective enabler of the organisation’s strategic goals and objectives. The strengths and weaknesses of an organizations’ human resources have a direct bearing on the ability of an organization to achieve its strategic objectives.

Within the MOH, the personnel budget constitutes the highest recurrent cost (36% of the total budget). In addition, personnel are a major driver of other recurrent costs, such as transport and travel, consumable materials (including uniforms), rental (in cases of rented office accommodation); durable materials, including office equipment and furniture; and utilities. The effective management and utilisation of human resources therefore have an impact not only on delivery of services within the Ministry, but also on other recurrent cost items.
