The Ministry of Health in line with its Human Resources for Health Strategic Plan 2014-2018, is working with partners and stakeholders in Human Resources for Health (HRH) to ensure that the capacity to manage health workers is strengthened for effective and efficient service delivery at the county level.With the devolution, health workforce that forms between 60 and 80 per cent of most county human resources has had numerous challenges with weak capacity to manage health workforce as most evident.We are grateful for the HRH Capacity Bridge Project working with the Institute of Human Resources Management (IHRM) to lead the development and implementation of the curriculum for building the capacity of human resources for health Management in the County. This training will strengthen the county capacity to manage HRH for better quality of health care services and improved health outcomes especially in HIV care and treatment.This curriculum is designed to provide the HR managers in the health sector with knowledge in the HR processes including performance management, disciplinary processes, developing job description, change management, employee relations, occupation safety and health and HRH data systems for decision making leading to better health workforce management.The document facilitates transfer of skills in development and implementation of HR policies and processes to the HR Managers in the departments of health but also the county human resources departments, county public service departments and county public service boards. The interrelationships between the above mentioned departments makes utilization and application of this curriculum even more critical in strengthening and building synergy among these county structures in the management of the health workforce.The Ministry of Health is proud to present this curriculum as one of the significant milestones towards a stronger HR management capacity for the health sector
