This reference guide focuses on large-scale, mostly public sector, CHW programs and how they might become as effective as possible. We provide many concrete examples of how large-scale programs have organized themselves, but more importantly, we raise issues that need to be faced by any large-scale program.

With this in mind, the CHW Reference Guide is intended to be used as a practical guide for policymakers and program managers wishing to develop or strengthen a CHW program, drawing lessons from other countries that have implemented CHW programs at scale.
