HOW WE ACTIVATE
Train and connect CHW Advocates with opportunities for action.
Created together with CHWs as experts, we offer CHW Advocates—a free digital training that equips CHWs with advocacy and storytelling skills. And the first-ever CHW Speaker Bureau fosters more equitable global dialogue. It gives CHWs opportunities to speak about issues of concern on a local, national, and international stage.
HOW WE ACTIVATE
Track & Affect National Policy Change
Our goal is to see 95 low- and middle-income countries adopt proCHW policies. We prioritize countries with active review windows, expired policies or policies set to expire in the next 18 months. We focus on countries where Coalition members and CHW Advocates are already advocating. And where NGO Coalitions and National CHW Associations can own and drive forward this work.
To track this progress and accelerate policy change, we’re excited to steward the largest-ever public-facing dashboard on proCHW policies. The dashboard helps us track potential openings for policy change and provides a picture of how the entire field is moving.
HOW WE ACTIVATE
Seed National Associations & NGO Coalitions
National CHW associations amplify the effectiveness of organizing, collective bargaining, and coordinated advocacy efforts.
NGO coalitions will create a unified and coordinated approach to stakeholder engagement.
We’re seeding national associations and NGO coalitions to influence policy reviews, tailored to local contexts.

“If we can make [CHWs] feel they are very important in society and on the ground, they will come up. They will stand up. They will pull up their socks and start fighting for their rights.”
