This study sought to investigate the views of different stakeholders regarding the selection criteria, as well as the competency of CHWs within the Golestan Province of Iran. A qualitative thematic analysis was conducted, utilizing semi-structured interviews with managers, supervisors, CHWs, and common people in 2021. Results uncovered three main themes of “criteria for employing competent people”, “barriers to employing competent people” and “identifying the barriers to employing competent people”, while the following two main sub-themes were identified: “CHW effectiveness” and “CHW sustainability”. These findings emphasize the need for the selection and hiring criteria of CHWs to be tailored to the needs of the community.
