This study investigates the challenges faced by Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) in Nairobi’s informal settlements and suggests ways to support them. It found that factors like recruitment, training, resources, and relationships with healthcare facilities affect CHV performance. Addressing these challenges requires adequate remuneration, comprehensive training, supportive supervision, and ensuring resource availability. Improving community safety and addressing corruption are also crucial for enhancing CHV effectiveness in urban informal settlements.
