USAID Global Flagship Convenings on CHW-Focused Investments

25 Sep USAID Global Flagship Convenings on CHW-Focused Investments

Posted at 25 Sep 2019 in Community health workers, Global Resources, Leadership and governance, Other, Strengthening Community Health Worker Programs by

As USAID’s global health workforce flagship program, HRH2030 is providing strategic thought leadership, communication, and implementation support to strengthen community health worker (CHW) programs. Several USAID partners make significant contributions to sustaining and scaling high-quality CHW programs supported by health and community systems at the global level and in focal countries.

In an effort to support USAID’s broader efforts to coordinate and align key investments in community health, the HRH2030 program hosted a four-year series: The USAID Global Flagship Convening on CHW-Focused Investments.

In August 2018, the inaugural convening provided a collaborative space for USAID, global flagship representatives, and other global actors to share updates on their progress and to discuss emerging plans and opportunities to support global efforts which was especially timely in anticipation of the release of the WHO CHW Guidelines, and the Astana Global Conference on Primary Health Care in October 2018.

The objectives of the USAID Global Flagship Convenings on CHW-Focused Investments included:

  1. Share information between flagship projects of USAID’s Global Health Bureau on collective best CHW tools, investments, and other global goods and focal countries for technical assistance
  2. Undertake more in-depth conversations in priority areas, such as:
    • Recommendations how USG and partners can coordinate and support USAID’s collaboration with other institutions for community health
    • Brainstorming what roles USAID global flagship projects can play in operationalizing the forthcoming WHO CHW Guidelines and contribute to potential derivative products or complementary knowledge to advance the guidelines
    • Discussions on community health and CHW measurement
    • The role of community health in the COVID-19 response
  3. Discuss collaboration strategies and next steps

HRH2030 conducted subsequent CHW convenings in October 2019, December 2020, and October 2021.
