South Africa began a PHC re-engineering process in 2010, and launched the Policy Framework and Strategy for Ward-based primary healthcare outreach teams.. Key lessons that have emerged from this program:
- resource allocation is achieved by the integration of CHW strategy
- Detailed evaluation and data management systems ensure cost-effective service
- Strong sub-national leadership and financial commitment is critical for catalyzing changes
- Flexible funding streams and standard remuneration are needed to sustain the program
