Objective
This project aims to co-develop, pilot and evaluate holistic health systems support package for CHWs in two different LMIC contexts to support CHW wellbeing and agency, ultimately contributing to enhanced health systems resilience. We will focus specifically on integrating support for the mental wellbeing of CHWs, a previously neglected area. Drawing on wellbeing and resilience frameworks while considering the hardware (e.g., training) and software (e.g., community cohesion and support) components of the health system, we aim to identify the stressors, challenges, constraints and opportunities faced by CHWs and communities.
