The Financing Alliance for Health 41d ago

What do current data tell us about investment in community health workers in Sub-Saharan Africa, and where are the biggest gaps that still remain? In this webinar, CHW Central and Financing Alliance for Health bring together leaders from research, policy, financing, and frontline practice to examine the state of CHW investment across the region. The discussion explores domestic versus external financing, data quality and visibility, policy commitments, workforce recognition, and what stronger financing systems could mean for health outcomes and primary health care delivery. The webinar also includes country and regional perspectives, including Kenya’s experience with domestic financing and digitized community health data, as well as reflections from a community health worker on what investment looks like in practice.
