dc.description.abstractThis policy brief presents findings on the human resource situation in the pharmaceutical sector in West Africa. It explains the current situation and what can be done in terms of training, linking with diaspora, collaboration and partnership with Asian countries, and building synergy within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to address human resource requirements. The study established that most West African countries have procurement policy incentives to support local pharmaceutical industries, such as: preferential treatment of local companies; ring-fencing certain products for local manufacturing companies; and prohibiting importation of medicines that are being produced locally.en
