Community Health Worker Reference Toolkit- A Toolkit for Integrating CHWs in the Formal Healthcare System

Amref Health Africa in collaboration with the African Union (AU) and Intra health is carrying out a campaign to make Community Health Workers (CHWs) available and accessible everywhere within Africa. The campaign is also advocating for the CHWs to be recognized and remunerated for the work that they carry out. Amref Health Africa given the evidences has noted the important role played by Community Health Workers (CHWs). Further, the organization noted the multiplicity of individuals who provide some sort of care, health promotion and health advocacy in communities and the difficulty of putting all these players under one umbrella of CHWs. The amorphous nature of these players means that they cannot be trusted to provide a full package of CHW services. It also means they cannot be certified and supervised; more importantly, they cannot be
remunerated for the work they do. It is for this reason that Amref Health Africa regional office compiled a toolkit to clearly outline the definition, qualifications, career path, service delivery and health promotion roles, supervisory structure and accountability systems for CHWs. The toolkit is intended to advocate for qualified CHWs to be integrated into the health workforce and remunerated adequately.
