It highlights that health worker shortages and uneven support for CHWs are major challenges, and that well-planned programs can help address these gaps. The guide stresses the need to understand community needs, properly train and support CHWs, and integrate them with other health workers. Overall, it shows that strong, well-designed CHW programs can improve health services and contribute to broader development goals.
