This evaluation has focused on CHWs, who are selected, trained and deployed by the MoH to deliver a defined set of tasks at community level. CHWs are the central element of the Community Health Policy and of the community health strategy plan (CHSP) of the MoH.

The Manual means to accompany Field Staff i...n devising the most appropriate strategy to engage with communities, given the conditions of access, security and time of the specific context in which a project is implemented. Even though the steps described proceed alongside the implementation of the Community Protection Approach, the manual has different sections providing guidance for the definition of engagement strategies in any context or project in question.

of service – which negatively affect health outcomes.

Home delivery and late and infrequent attendance at antenatal care (ANC) are responsible  for substantial avoidable maternal and pediatric morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan  Africa. This cluster-randomized trial aimed to de...termine the impact of a community health  worker (CHW) intervention on the proportion of women who visit ANC fewer than 4 times  during their pregnancy and deliver at home.
