Backod
There is widespread recognition o the need or accurate, timely and eective human
resources or health data to inorm the development o policies on human resources or
health in countries. However, many low and middle income countries have week inormation
systems that can generate data that could guide the policy dialogue to scale up the healthworkorce. To respond to this crisis the World Health Organization has directed its eorts and
achievements in leading the global research agenda to support countries to strengthen their
Human Resources Inormation Systems (HRIS). As part o these eorts the Human Resources
or Health Unit (HRH), WHO developed the Country Assessment Tool on the sources and
uses o HRH data to conduct a diagnosis on the quality o data on HRH and the degree to
which inormation is used or evidence-based decision-making. This diagnostic tool contains
questions intended to gather inormation on the uses, type and quality o data on HRH at
institutional level in countries. This step is critical to identiy strengths and weaknesses o the
current HRIS in countries. The resulting inormation can then be used to identiy priorities
and develop strategies to strengthen the HRIS at district, regional, or national level.
The country assessment tool on the sources and uses o HRH data is an adapted version o
the instrument designed by the Capacity Project, which collects inormation by institution,
and the data mapping template at national level on human resources or health developed
by the HRH, WHO. The current version o the instrument has been eld tested to evaluate the
uses and sources o inormation in Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique and Sao Tome
and Principe and it has recently been used in Guatemala and Rwanda to understand the
support required to assist countries to improve or develop their HRIS.
Objctv
The objectives o the instrument are to identiy the list o institutions involved in producing
data on HRH and to compile comprehensive inormation on the uses, type and quality o
data on HRH at institutional level in countries. The tool is divided in two parts:
1. Mapping o institutions
2. Questionnaire at institutional level:
2.1 Identication
2.2 Data collection
2.3 Use o data

Mapp xc to dty th lt o tttovolvd podc data o HrH
A requisite step to conduct the evaluation on the uses and sources or HRH data is to
conduct a mapping o institutions to identiy the institutions involved in producing data on
HRH. These institutions include ministries, licensing and registration or certication bodies,private sector organizations and outside the health sector, population census bureaus and
statistical oces, labour departments, and others. List in the ollowing table the institutions
identied as producers o HRH data (please reer to attachment 1 or an example o the
institutions). The institutions listed in this section will be interviewed using the questionnaire
in part 2. Attach additional sheets i more space is needed.

qtoa at tttoal lvl
This questionnaire is intended to be applied in dierent institutions which produce data on
HRH based on the mapping exercise previously conducted by the interviewer to identiy the
list o institutions involved in producing data on HRH.
itcto o th tvw tool
This section will provide guidance on how to conduct the interview on the evaluation o
the uses and sources or HRH data at institutional level.
1 Role o the interviewer
The interviewer is responsible or asking questions, answering the respondents queries,
recording answers and editing the completed questionnaire. The interviewer must check
that the respondent has understood the questions by using interviewing techniques,
such as neutral probes, clarication and appropriate eedback, and determine whether
the answer given is appropriate. Listening to what the respondent is communicating,
both verbally and nonverbally, ensuring that the inormation is correct. The interviewer
must set the pace o the interview and keep the respondent ocused and interested.
The atmosphere should be comortable and pleasant at all times.
Beore going to the eld, the interviewer must know the questionnaire and how it is to be
administered. A thorough preparation as well as extensive practice will guarantee that this
is achieved.
2 Role o respondent
The role o the respondent is to cooperate with the interviewer and ollow instructions.
The respondent must listen to questions attentively without interrupting, take time
beore answering, and try to give an accurate and complete response as much as possible.
The respondent should ask or clarications whenever a question seems unclear and ask the
interviewer to repeat or rephrase it. Trying to answer an unclear question is likely to lead to
an incorrect response.
3 Introduction to the interview
The interviewer must clearly communicate the objectives o the survey to the respondent.
Knowing what is expected o the person will contribute to the accuracy in responses.
The interviewer should establish a good rapport by introducing himsel and the survey well.
Make a good impression
1. You are a proessional interviewer rom a legitimate and reputable organization.
2. The questionnaire is or gathering data or important, worthwhile research.
3. The respondents participation is vital to the success o the research.
4. The responses given will be condential and will only be used or research purposes.Respondents will have to sign an inormed consent orm, which explains about the
survey and what will be expected o them.

The interviewer can use the ollowing introduction or decide which one works best.
Example of introduction:
Hello my name is and I work or The reason I am contacting you is because we are
conducting a survey on health workorce in your country and I would like to ask you a ew
questions. Let me assure you that whatever inormation you tell us will not be disclosed to
anyone and will only be used or research purposes.
Make a good interview start
1. You should be pleasant and assertive, and make the respondent eel at ease.
2. You should know the questionnaire thoroughly and be well prepared to answer
any questions.
3. You should speak slowly and clearly to set the tone or the interview.
