What works and what doesn’t when implementing and scaling up community health worker programs? Experiences from 9 countries in Africa and Asia

During February 2024, the Knowledge SUCCESS project hosted three regional Learning Circles cohorts focused on implementing and scaling up the integration of Community Health Workers (CHWs) into health systems, a High Impact Practice in Family Planning.

During the course of the 4 virtual learning sessions, participants representing 29 countries within Africa and Asia discussed and shared their individual and collective success factors for effective CHW programs, sorted through their challenges and how to overcome them, and envisioned how to apply their learnings into future CHW programming.

To share these insights among a larger audience, Knowledge SUCCESS is hosting a webinar to summarize the high-level success factors and solutions that were shared by participants across the Learning Circles cohorts. The webinar will also feature an individual from each cohort to share in more detail a programmatic experience or innovation on topics that emerged as high-priority areas among the Learning Circles participants.

Panelists include:

• Dr. Mohamed Sangare, Johns Hopkins CCP, Senegal (Moderator)
• Aisha Fatima, MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership/Jhpiego, Pakistan (Panelist)
• Dr. Tadele Kebede, Ministry of Health, Ethiopia (Panelist)
• Yvette Ribaira, JSI, Madagascar (Panelist)
