The dynamics of the health workforce in fragmented post-conflict situations is inadequately
understood. However, this information is key to restoring a well coordinated and functioning
health system. The post-conflict period may sometimes provide a window for policy reforms to
address long-standing human resources for health (HRH) challenges. This study aims to
understand the evolution of government and donor policies supporting health workers during
and after the conflict in Northern Uganda, and to derive recommendations on how to improve
their effectiveness and sustainability. This report covers one component of a wider ReBUILD
research project, which also included in-depth interviews with health workers, key informant
interviews and stakeholder mapping.
