Investing in health workers: A retrospective cost analysis of a cohort of return-of-service bursary recipients in Southern Africa
BACKGROUND: Return-of-service (RoS) schemes are investment strategies that governments use to increase the pool of health professionals through the issuing of bursaries and scholarships to health sciences students in return for service after graduation. Despite using these schemes for many years, Eswatini, South Africa, Botswana and Lesotho have not assessed the costs and return on investment of these schemes. This study aimed to assess the costs…
Effectiveness of return-of-service schemes for human resources for health retention: A retrospective cohort study of four Southern African countries
BACKGROUND: Governments use return-of-service (RoS) schemes to train, employ and retain health professionals in the public sector. We determined the effectiveness of RoS schemes in four Southern African countries. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used databases of RoS beneficiaries from South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini and Lesotho. We ascertained the period of funding for beneficiaries between 2000 and 2010, study programme, selection cri…
Are return-of-service bursaries an effective investment to build health workforce capacity? A qualitative study of key South African policymakers
Return-of-service schemes (RoS) or bursaries are used in South Africa and other nations to publicly fund the training of skilled health professionals in return for the beneficiary agreeing to return to serve in their local provinces on a year-for-year basis. This study aimed to understand insights of key policymakers in South African provinces to identify barriers and solutions to implementation of RoS schemes used to recruit and retain skilled h…
Governance systems for skilled health worker migration, their public value and competing priorities: An interpretive scoping review
BACKGROUND: Governments worldwide participate in skilled health worker (SHW) migration agreements to protect access to health services in their countries. Previous studies have described the value offered by these agreements in separate source and destination country perspectives. OBJECTIVE: We sought to identify and summarise existing literature on shared value creation for both source and destination countries. METHOD: We conducted a systematic…
The Staging of the Hidden: Interrogating an Ambivalent Response to a Crime Against Humanity
In December 2018, a former member of a white supremacist group and perpetrator of a violent crime, Stefaans Coetzee participated in a panel discussion at a reconciliation conference in South Africa. In 1996, Coetzee was a key executioner of a bombing which killed four people and injured 67. After pleading guilty, Coetzee was sentenced to 40 years in jail and 20 years later, he was released on parole. Thirty years earlier, 25 black South Africans …
Enabling democracy: The role of public interest litigation in sustaining and preserving the separation of powers
In a representative democracy, the judiciary—the “third pillar of the state”—performs a dual function that acknowledges the importance of the separation of powers to democratic governance: to act as a check on the exercise of state power and to protect individual rights and interests that have been violated. These core elements of the judiciary’s role similarly reflect the claims that often underlie public interest litigation (PIL), which seek to…
Keeping justice at bay: Institutional harms and the damaging cycle of reparative failureThe 2018 John Barry Memorial Lecture
The grand claims of nations ostensibly keen to repair past injustice are often undermined by the design and implementation of the processes employed to provide redress and resolution. The establishment of mechanisms such as national inquiries and truth and reconciliation commissions can result – often for reasons of political expediency – in the exclusion of certain categories of crime from investigation, an emphasis on individual rather than str…
To shape our own lives and our own world’: Exploring women’s hearings as reparative mechanisms for victims of sexual violence post-conflict
Transitional justice processes have been criticised for neglecting to recognise the specific dimensions of women’s experiences of sexual violence during conflict. This failure to acknowledge the gendered elements of a conflict or the denial of its enduring impact undermines the prospect of transitional justice mechanisms devising measures of reparation that address the conditions that first enabled and subsequently perpetuate sexual violence agai…

Towards Reparative Transformation: Revisiting the Impact of Violence against Women in a Post-TRC South Africa
∞ Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) does not begin with conflict or political instability and end with a transition to peace or democracy. 1 The idea of transformation was central to key mechanisms that facilitated the transition to democracy in South Africa. The 1994 elections secured the immediate transition of political power. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the South African Constitutional Court were designed to execut…

Leaving Behind the Age of Impunity: Victims of Gender Violence and the Promise of Reparations
As sexual violence in conflict – predominantly affecting women and girls – appears to increase in prevalence, gender justice advocates are calling for a reparations model that is not only restorative, but also, and more critically, preventative or transformative. This article asks whether the reparations mandate of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Trust Fund for Victims has the potential to address the pre-conflict structural inequa…
Public Interest Litigation: Making the Case in Australia
Public interest litigation: making the case in Australia Litigation is widely and appropriately recognised as an important component of the public interest advocacy 'toolkit'. Yet, little attention has been paid in Australian research and scholarship to an important question: under what circumstances is public interest litigation (PIL) an effective way to bring about progressive social change? Informed by a review of the international literature …

The breadth of the decisions is vast, from the resettlement of evictees to the regulation of private medical plans to the development of state programs to address poverty and …
