In Kenya, the health sector faces serious human resource shortages despite a rising disease burden; the WHO categorized the County as one of the 57 Human Resources for Health (HRH) crisis counties. Health care worker shortages highlight challenges in availability, financing, regulation and workforce planning that ultimately contributes to poor health performance (Mugo et al., 2014)[1]. In order to improve the availability, deployment and conditions of health professionals, partnerships and collaboration need to be strengthened as well as networking and dialogue capabilities. Furthermore, mechanisms need to be harmonized, sustainable financing on national and local level guaranteed, and advocacy work for health professionals undertaken. The proposed Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships (MSP) project aims to catalyze action towards HRH, and in particular specialized health professionals, through coordinated advocacy efforts in Kenya.
