Community Health Worker Characterization
Objectives
The objectives of this sub-project are:
- Produce a standardized toolkit to guide the development and implementation of efforts to understand community-based volunteer workforces; and
- Using this toolkit, work with national stakeholders to describe the populations of community-based malaria care providers towards improving program support,
National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) Zambia, Zambia
National Malaria Elimination Centre (NMEC) Zambia, Zambia
National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) Senegal, Senegal
National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) Nigeria, Nigeria
National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP) Nigeria, Nigeria
National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) Ethiopia, Ethiopia
Ethiopia National Malaria Elimination Program (NMEP), Ethiopia
National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) Democratic Republic of Congo, Dem. Rep. of Congo
As malaria elimination programs continue to rely on a community-based, often volunteer, workforce to expand access to malaria care services, it is critical that these programs provide and maintain effective support. This requires a thorough understanding of the needs, challenges, and opportunities facing community workers. Yet, decentralized approaches to program implementation can result in significant knowledge gaps at the national level. This effort aims to develop and implement a harmonized approach within MACEPA of guiding national programs in understanding and supporting community workers.
