Strengthening Community Health Worker Programs

This is the first course series in the Health Systems Leadership Development Curriculum. This course introduces the core concepts of community health worker programs and explores what is needed to advocate for, build, and optimize large-scale programs in order to improve access to high-quality health services.

This course series has 8 courses, each of which begins with a video introduction from Dr. Raj Panjabi, who highlights key themes. The courses include thematic video interviews with experts from global institutions like the World Health Organization, and case study videos with leaders from the three exemplar countries, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, and Liberia, along with supporting text, visuals, and interactive components. Each course also incorporates learner engagement and assessment questions in a variety of formats, including multiple choice, true/false, and discussion questions based on a practical scenario.
