Performance of Community Health Workers: Optimizing the benefits of their uni...REACHOUTCONSORTIUMSLIDES
This document discusses factors that influence the performance of community health workers (CHWs), including both "hardware" factors like training, supervision, and supplies, as well as "software" factors like relationships, trust, and power. It presents a framework showing how the broader community and health sector contexts can influence mechanisms like trusting relationships between CHWs and communities or health workers, leading to outcomes like high or weak performance. The intermediate position of CHWs between communities and the health sector is also discussed.
The document discusses understanding community populations by defining key terms, identifying the three main factors that affect community health (physical, social/cultural, individual behaviors), and outlining the steps for community organizing which include recognizing issues, gaining entry, organizing people, assessing the community, setting goals/priorities, and evaluating outcomes. It uses St. Petersburg, FL as a case study to illustrate population demographics and health indicators.
AMOS Health and Hope is a non-profit Christian organization dedicated to improving the health of poor and marginalized rural populations. We use the strategy of community based primary health care to increase health care coverage in areas with limited services. We train lay health workers in rural communities to manage and run their own community clinic, prevent and treat the most common illnesses, and work in community development to address the root causes of poor health such as access to safe water and sanitation.
We currently serve a population of over 13,000 people in 27 communities in four departments in Nicaragua – Boaco, Chinandega, Matagalpa, and the RAAS. We have two medical teams that accompany, supervise and monitor the health work being done in rural communities. We are committed to implementing interventions that are evidence-based, compassionate and empowering for communities.

Rural communities in Sudan often lack access to adequate healthcare. There are several factors that make healthcare delivery difficult in rural areas, including lack of trained staff and facilities, as well as poverty and food insecurity in some regions. Primary health care (PHC) aims to provide essential care through health education, immunizations, and treatment of common illnesses. However, Sudan's PHC system faces challenges of expanding access to remote areas with limited resources. Promoting high quality universal PHC will require health system reforms including shifting focus to PHC, developing standards, and increasing financing.

Modern Healthcare's Community Leadership Awards was established to recognize these leaders while bringing attention to the worthy causes they support.
