Dear Halima,
Thank you for sharing this. HIV colleagues shared a number of key messages in their World AIDS Day campaign (https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-aids-day/2019/campaign-materials), including a focus on the contributions of communities and their community health workers.
In the coming months, WHO will publish a new evidence guide on HIV services that CHWs can deliver safely and effectively. It is the result of collaboration between the WHO Health Workforce department – derived from the CHW Guideline – and the WHO HIV department and their substantive selection of guideline products.
Those interested in receiving this product and/or the derivative product on CHWs in HIV, TB and malaria, please contact workforce2030@who.int
Kind regards,
Catherine
