1. Context

Physical Rehabilitation Activity (PRA) program is a USAID funded project implemented by HI in partnership with local organizations. PRA program is supporting the establishment of a sustainable, integrated, public-private rehabilitation system to improve the mobility and functional independence of conflict-affected civilians, women, men, girls and boys in need of rehabilitation services in Nepal. PRA has defined three objectives to meet the set goal:

1. The quality of the rehabilitation services is strengthened.
2. Access to rehabilitation service is increased; and 
3. The sustainability of PRCs (Physical Rehabilitation centres) is strengthened.

To achieve the PRA goal and objectives, HI is supporting in the establishment of a sustainable rehabilitation services system through a health system strengthening approach targeting six core areas that is leadership and governance, health and rehabilitation, human resource, rehabilitation information system development, medical and product technologies, including assistive products, finance, and service delivery.

To achieve the PRA goal and objectives, HI proposes to contribute to the establishment of a sustainable rehabilitation services system through a health system strengthening approach targeting six core areas mentioned above.   PRA works in close coordination with all three tire-government authorities particularly in system strengthening approach. Strong health systems begin with inspired leadership, sound management; and accountable, transparent, and participatory governance. Government Health workers and managers need resources to support their work, and service users must hold health systems accountable for their performance. Health system leaders and managers need skills to engage stakeholders, motivate staff, improve quality, and implement interventions.

In this regard, under Leadership and Governance thematic area PRA is organizing a training on Leadership, Management and Governance (LM&G), based on modules developed by Management Science for Health (MSH). MSH is an USA based INGO which has developed and tested a specific package to strength the capacities of Health system managers and leaders in leadership, governance and management for increasing the quality of rehabilitation services with the support of USAID.

The Leadership, Management and Governance (LM&G) training package

Management Science for Health (MSH) developed the Leadership, Management & Governance (LMG) modules to equip managers with the skills to address the key challenges in the field of rehabilitation.

Through improved leadership, management, and teamwork, managers in public, private, and nongovernmental organizations can face these challenges with more confidence and lead their teams to effect significant changes in health . Leadership, management, and governance are interdependent and closely linked  . They reinforce each other and interact to achieve the desired result. 

“To improve abilities to lead, as well as manage for results, one need to, empower self and others to face challenges, link leading and managing to positive outcomes, strengthen your leading and managing practices, and become skilled in using the leading and managing practices and integrating them into your daily work.”

LMG training will be organized based as part of activities planned in PRA on modules developed by MSH. Existing MSH training module on Governance & Leadership has been adapted to the Nepal context. So, the same module will be used for the training
