Abstract
In this report the authors apply a very
simple analytic method to measure workforce productivity in
the health sector at the district level in Ghana. The
authors then describe how the productivity analysis can be
potentially used to inform staffing decisions. Specifically,
in this paper the authors: (i) develop an aggregate measure
of workforce productivity that can be monitored regularly at
the district level in Ghana and could be applied in other
data constrained settings (ii) explore factors that are
correlated with workforce productivity at the district level
(iii) examine trends in workforce productivity over time;
and (iv) provide recommendations on further work,
particularly on improvements in data collection.
