"An innovative animation, storytelling and learning exercise"

During the last meeting of the MMI working group on Human Resources for Health, we discussed to organize a follow up on a Cordaid “writeshop” on promising HRH practices. The writeshop – a kind of study which is not at all classical academic research, but an innovative animation, storytelling and learning exercise focusing on two workshops where stories are brought together, know-how is shared and mutual learning happens - is focused on English speaking countries. Cordaid and the MMI working group considered it to be an added value to do the same study for French speaking countries.

"We look for promising HRH practices"

The MMI Board agreed with this idea. So we can start the first step of the preparation of this writeshop now. We look for promising HRH practices within the partner organizations of the MMI members. The idea is to bring up the names of these partner organizations who could be involved at the end of June. The choice of the most interesting cases will be done by the HRH working group in July. 8 most interesting cases of promising HRH practices will be chosen and variety in member organizations and countries will be important criteria as well.

In follow up of our discussion, please find enclosed the explanatory note regarding the writeshops “Promising HRH Practices”. This note has been written in the context of the program of Cordaid. As discussed during the meeting, it just gives you a first idea on what the writeshop will be. When you contact your partners, you might need to adapt the second paragraph to your own situation to better embed the writeshops in the HRH work that you implement together with your partners.

"So please let us know if you are interested"

I hope that this explanation note can help you by introducing the MMI-study about "Promising HRH Practices in french speaking countries" in your organisation and it will help you by bring up good cases.

Please let us know as soon as possible if your organization – and your partners – are interested to participate in this writeshop and send us first feedback - or even better: an abstract about what we could expect as your contribution. Please contact me if there are questions.
