Voices from the Capacity Project
As a public health officer at the Southern Sudan Ministry of Health, Abdullah Rahman needed up-to-date information to support his work. Even in the capital city of Juba, it wasn’t easy to find what he was looking for. “We used to look in our other books and the libraries at the ministries, or friends’ books—but it is difficult, because some information you cannot find there.” Reliable Internet access was another complication. “It’s important for us to connect with other people,” he says, and for “any news from our partners, we connect by Internet.”
In Southern Sudan, the Capacity Project is strengthening the Ministry of Health’s ability to hire, train and manage a high-quality health workforce. One objective is to implement a strategic approach to workforce development, which includes improving access to health information. The new Juba Teaching Hospital Health Information Resource Center is part of these efforts.
