Approaches and Lessons to Forge a Sustainable Path
Join us for a dynamic 90-minute webinar organized by the Health Systems Strengthening Accelerator, the Community Health Impact Coalition, and D-Tree. As part of the 2024 Health Systems Strengthening Learning Series, this webinar will advance knowledge about USAID’s Health Systems Strengthening Learning Agenda.
Community health and community health workers (CHWs) are crucial to primary health care, health equity, and universal health coverage (UHC). This webinar will provide a global overview of country-level progress in community health and policies that support CHW accreditation and compensation, including tools and resources for tracking and advocacy. In addition, hear firsthand from representatives of Ministries of Health, civil society, and the community health workforce as they share their experiences with locally-led solutions for financing and scaling up community health programs in Guinea and Zanzibar.
