This guide examines how community health worker programmes can be organized, supported and integrated into health services. It focuses on programme design and workforce management: selecting workers, defining education and competency requirements, arranging certification and supervision, remuneration and contracts, and connecting programmes with existing health-system and community structures.
The recommendations are accompanied by explanations of the evidence and the practical factors considered during their development. Sections on objectives, implementation, monitoring and further research help readers understand the relationship between individual staffing decisions and the wider programme. The complete 2018 publication is intended for programme managers, policy-makers, educators and other professionals responsible for planning and supporting this workforce.
