World Vision International is a leading civil society organisation supporting Member States to strengthen their community health workforces to transform health and nutrition outcomes. Community health workers are among the most cost-effective solutions to address the critical gap of nearly 10 million healthcare workers in low- and middle-income countries. Investing in CHWs is one of the best investments a Health Ministry can make, with a 10 to 1 return on investment that, in addition to improving health and nutrition outcomes, also reduces the stress on tertiary care facilities and provides employment opportunities for women and youth. World Vision calls on Member States to prioritize scaling up whole-country coverage of formalized community health workers who are remunerated, trained, supervised, and protected, as a fundamental cornerstone of primary health care and universal health coverage.
