Summary This research report presents the outcomes of an investigation into the roles and functions of clinics supervisors in three districts in the Eastern Cape Province against the background of health sector reform in the Province.
More Details

It describes in some detail the research process of Participative Action Research, which the research team undertook, before presenting the main findings and recommendations. Central among the findings is the fact that clinic supervision is hampered by unresolved governance issues which lead to continued fragmentation of services, unclear roles and lines of accountability, excessive meeting loads and unstable working conditions.

The report also concludes that, while clinic supervisors have a great range of skills at their disposal, training and support, particularly in the areas of organizational and human resource management, are an ongoing and urgent requirement.
