Finally, what does this mean for actors? Developing effective HRH plans clearly needs more than the technical
capacities and tools. Acknowledging and dealing with governance should be part and parcel of the planning and implementation process as well. So far, little has been shared on governance and HRH and many questions remain unanswered. We hope that this thematic series stimulates readers to come to the fore with their experiences and document these. It is by mutual learning that we will learn how to better deal with governance.
