WHO has published two new resources - the Global curriculum guide for community health workers and a step by step guide for health labour market analysis of community health worker programmes - for ministries of health and their partners seeking to strengthen their primary health care programmes both through assessing and enhancing competency based learning for community health workers (CHWs) and by using a step by step health labour market approach for programme integration. Join us for an overview of the new resources, along with insights from government representatives and partners on efforts to strengthen CHW programming in support of broader health systems strengthening.
