Lower-skilled CHWs provide
Health Education to their
communities, and are highly
mobile, operating most of the
time on the go, and focusing
on social gatherings.
Higher-skilled CHWs are
trained to cover iCCM duties.
They tend to operate out of
their homes, hence needing to
also store large quantities of
commodities and tools.

Clinic-based CHWs operate
out of rural Health Posts,
where they support medical
professionals. They usually
have their set of supplies, but
can easily restock at the Clinic.

are or have been CHWs
themselves. They are usually
