The Rwanda CHW Program was established in 1995, aiming at increasing uptake of essential maternal and child clinical services through education of pregnant women, promotion of healthy behaviors, and follow-up and linkages to health services.
CHWs come from the villages in which they live. They must be able to read and write and be between the ages of 20 and 50 years. They also must be willing to volunteer and be considered by their peers to be honest, reliable, and trustworthy.
Main Objectives
- Strengthen the capacity of decentralized structures to allow community health service delivery
- Strengthen the participation of community members in community health activities
- Strengthen CHW motivation through CPBF to improve health service delivery
- Strengthen coordination of community health services at the central, district, health center, and community levels.
