Uganda’s CHWs, Village Health Teams (VHT), support village health information access and some primary health care. However, these programs are often underfunded contributing to higher rates of attrition within these teams. Through focus groups and in-depth interviews with CHWs and other key stakeholders, this study determined preferred job incentives for CHWs that would facilitate their motivation and success.
