“…Donor-funded procurement schemes required medicine manufacturers to have quality certifications, most often the World Health Organization prequalification set up in 2001 in the context of conflicts over intellectual property and increasing measures against counterfeit drugs led by multinational pharmaceutical industries with international organisations (Quet 2021). Although some donors, such as the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis did not exclude local producers from its tenders and created schemes to support local manufacturers, in practice, the quality requirements and procurement in bulk constituted barriers for local medicine manufacturers (Pourraz 2019;Chorev 2020). Investing in the upgrade of their infrastructure and procedures to comply with the quality standards reflected on their production costs and consequently affected their competitiveness, even in those countries with industrial policies to support local industries.…”

The cooperation between Brazil and Mozambique to set up a state-owned generic medicines factory in Mozambique has been identified as an innovative unorthodox South-South development collaboration. Its implementation – with its translations, adaptations, gaps and contradictions – makes it an interesting object for the socio-anthropology of development and public action. One approach in this field is to focus on the resistance by target groups of development projects. Previous research highlighted the criticisms of the ‘factory project’ implementation or the discrepancies of discourse and representations of the project between Mozambican and Brazilian officials. However, during the negotiation process, key health experts from both countries voluntarily withdrew from the project design or were critics of its conception and evolution. Focusing on what could be seen as a form of resistance, we will analyse who are the experts that distanced themselves, their reasons, and interrogate how their withdrawal led to some of the gaps and translation issues in the implementation process. The present article draws on interviews in Brazil, Mozambique and Europe with health and pharmaceutical experts, diplomats and government officials. We also analysed government reports from both countries, including archives from the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“…The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most vibrant sectors of the Ghanaian economy (Harper and Gyansa-Lutterodt, 2007;Otoo, 2020;Pourraz, 2019). The industry is highly competitive due to customer expectations and their enormous economic influence (Banda et al, 2021;Boya and Rao Sekhara, 2019;Horner, 2022).…”

PurposeEngaged employees assure organizational competitiveness and sustainability. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between job resources and employee turnover intentions, with employee engagement as a mediating variable.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 934 employees of eight wholly-owned pharmaceutical industries. The proposed model and hypotheses were evaluated using structural equation modeling. Construct reliability and validity was established through confirmatory factor analysis.FindingsData supported the hypothesized relationship. The results show that job autonomy and employee engagement were significantly associated. Supervisory support and employee engagement were significantly associated. However, performance feedback and employee engagement were nonsignificantly associated. Employee engagement had a significant influence on employee turnover intentions. The results further show that employee engagement mediates the association between job resources and employee turnover intentions.Research limitations/implicationsThe generalizability of the findings will be constrained due to the research’s pharmaceutical industry focus and cross-sectional data.Practical implicationsThe study’s findings will serve as valuable pointers for stakeholders and decision-makers in the pharmacuetical industry to develop a proactive and well-articulated employee engagement intervention to ensure organizational effectiveness, innovativeness and competitiveness.Originality/valueBy empirically demonstrating that employee engagement mediates the nexus of job resources and employee turnover intentions, the study adds to the corpus of literature.
