Dear colleagues,
The Knowledge SUCCESS project invites you to a discussion on implementing and scaling up the integration of Community Health Workers into health systems. Community Health Worker programs are an essential part of a strong health system, and are a proven high-impact practice in family planning. When effectively trained, equipped, and integrated into the health system, Community Health Workers can increase access to and use of contraception, particularly where unmet need is high, access is low, and geographic or social barriers to use of services exist.
Panelists will share programmatic experiences and innovations on high-priority topics, including:
* How to ensure sustained salaries for Community Health Workers
* Effective data collection and reporting mechanisms
* Expanding Community Health Workers’ scope of practice through integrated training

All the best,

During February 2024, the Knowledge SUCCESS project hosted three regional Learning Circles cohorts focused on implementing and scaling up the integration of Community Health Workers (CHWs) into health systems, a High Impact Practice in Family Planning.
During the course of the 4 virtual learning sessions, participants representing 29 countries within Africa and Asia discussed and shared their individual and collective success factors for effective CHW programs, sorted through their challenges and how to overcome them, and envisioned how to apply their learnings into future CHW programming.
To share these insights among a larger audience, Knowledge SUCCESS is hosting a webinar to summarize the high-level success factors and solutions that were shared by participants across the Learning Circles cohorts. The webinar will also feature an individual from each cohort to share in more detail a programmatic experience or innovation on topics that emerged as high-priority areas among the Learning Circles participants.
