Support & incentive to CHW/CHV Pay for performance, CHW/CHV are provided targets to be performed. CHVs are paid based on activity they conducted. This can lead to demotivated CSS block fund mostly for TB and HV. PR CSO manage fund. No standardized payment of NGOs. Baseline survey is done, they claimed for minimum wage of country. Recognition and certification is suggested. No standardized payment. Now, focusing, 60-100% of minimal wage Not paid by Government. Paid by USAID, GF and CTB. No standardize payment of NGOs. Tanzania, Indonesia Nigeria Kenya Mozambique DRC
Challenges Guideline is not in local language Lack of materials (job-aid as well as training materials) Different language (so, translated to local language during training) No standardize curriculum Qualification of CHV is very wide, ability are very varies (some kind of standardization require) Issue of linkage to health facilities Need to update GL to cover all intervention areas (TB, MDR-TB, TB/HIV) Different nature of diseases may hinder integration of services at community level without substantial training Country Most Mozambique & Nigeria Mozambique,, DRC Nigeria, DRC Kenya, Tanzania, Tanzania
Recommendation for sustainability Review the incentive system for both CHW & CHV Incubate into the Government system and Supervise & support by Government Integrate several community health interventions (HIV, TB, malaria, etc) Standardize the training curriculum and localized the language Coordinate with Donors and partners to make sure CHW are integrated and paid for these CHWs. For all CHW, Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania, there is active consideration by Government to pay salary for sustainability Include CHW payment, training and support system into country strategic plan and all provincial and district plan
