Background
The Asia Pacific Action Alliance on Human Resources for Health (AAAH)
AAAH is a regional partnership mechanism established in response to international recognition of the need for global and regional action to strengthen country capacity for HRH planning and management. The AAAH is part of a larger movement to enhance HRH development as articulated in documents like the Kampala Declaration and the Agenda for Global Action. It was established in 2005, with 10 founding members. The AAAH membership was further expanded. In 2011, membership increased to 16 countries; 7 from the South East Asia (SEA) region i.e. Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand, and 9 from the Western Pacific Region (WPR) i.e. Cambodia, China, Fiji, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa and Vietnam (Same status continues as of March 2014).
AAAH coordinates partners for their joint effort at advocating for the HRH, and provides technical support, and augments country-level HRH development through regional collaboration. It aims at ensuring sustained commitments to addressing HRH needs through research, funding, and policy development. With regards to AAAH work plan 2011-2013, members have identified four priority areas that demand attention i.e. Advocacy, Monitoring, Research, and Capacity Building.
