This study looked at how community health worker programs are funded in sub-Saharan Africa. It found that most of the money comes from donors and is mainly focused on specific diseases rather than overall health services, while governments contribute less but tend to support broader care. There is still a large funding gap, meaning many programs do not have enough resources. The study highlights the need for more consistent government funding and better coordination to strengthen community health services.
