How does capacity building of health managers work? A realist evaluation study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There has been a lot of attention on the role of human resource management interventions to improve delivery of health services in low- and middle-income countries. However, studies on this subject are few due to limited research on implementation of programmes and methodological difficulties in conducting experimental studies on human resource interventions. The authors present the protocol of an evaluation of a district-level capacity-building intervention to identify the determinants of performance of health workers in managerial positions and to understand how changes (if any) are brought about.

Methods and analysis

The aim of this study is to understand how capacity building works. The authors will use realist evaluation to evaluate an intervention in Karna
