This review looked at how supportive supervision helps CHWs do their work better. After examining 37 studies, the picture is clear: when CHWs get regular guidance, feedback, and chances to learn with peers, they stay motivated and provide better care. Approaches that use mentorship, shared problem-solving, and community involvement tend to work well. The biggest challenges are limited resources, overworked supervisors, and weak system support. Digital tools and community-based supervision help by making follow-up more consistent and improving how decisions are made. Overall, supportive supervision is key to strong and lasting CHW programs. Structured and tech-assisted supervision can boost CHW confidence, accountability, and impact.
