• Institutionalize quality assurance activities at a national or regional level
• Build institutional capacity to sustain quality assurance efforts
• Document and evaluate improvements in human resource management (HRM) that affect quality of care
• Conduct research to adapt QA and HRM approaches to the needs of developing and middle-income countries
• Improve outcomes in the priority health areas, such as child survival, family planning, HIV/AIDS, malaria, safe motherhood, and tuberculosis
