The purpose of the TGHC Internship Network is to create additional networking and skills-building opportunities for student interns in the Research Triangle Park area. Participating interns will exchange ideas and experiences and engage in supplemental learning opportunities to enhance their internship experience. Interns will also take what they learn from the network back to the organization where they are interning.
The TGHC Internship Network will enrich the students’ experiences through two specific means: 1. Enhance professional knowledge and skills and; 2. Expand their network, which will serve them immediately and in their future careers.

To develop professional knowledge and skills and expand their network, interns will participate in:

CapacityPlus recently published its second technical brief, West Africa’s Regional Approach to Strengthening Health Workforce Information, by Kayode Odusote, Carol Bales, Sarah Dwyer, and Dykki Settle.
The West African Health Organization (WAHO) serves 15 member countries, all of which have less than the WHO recommended 2.3 doctors, nurses, and midwives per 1,000 people. Simply put, there are too few health workers to meet the region's health service delivery needs, and many of those who are present are inadequately educated and trained, inequitably distributed, and poorly supported. Addressing this health workforce shortage requires reliable information on the availability and distribution of different categories of health workers.
WAHO is implementing a regional approach to strengthening health workforce information, leveraging resources from various projects, donors, and global organizations, and building regional ICT capacity. This approach is closely aligned with key principles of the US Government's Global Health Initiative—supporting country ownership and country-led plans, encouraging sustainability through health systems strengthening and capacity-building, and leveraging partnerships.
CapacityPlus’s new technical brief provides an overview of this approach, highlights lessons learned and advantages, and provides recommendations for other regions and countries to adopt a similar approach.
In 2009, most WAHO countries had some health workforce data linked to payroll databases, but these did not provide the information health leaders needed in terms of availability, distribution, and skills mix. None had health workforce information system that could be used for planning. Therefore WAHO sought a functional, affordable, and sustainable system that could be used by all member countries and enable the regional exchange of information and aggregation…
