<h2>Background of CHW Symposium 2021</h2>

<div class="about-content">
<p>Community health workers (CHWs) are community members who serve as frontline health care professionals. They generally work with the underserved and are indigenous to the community in which they work-ethnically, linguistically, socioeconomically, and experientially. In the Liberian context, a community health worker is a member of a community who is chosen by community members to provide basic health and medical care within their community, and is capable of providing preventive, promotional and rehabilitation care to that community. The first Community Health Workers (CHWs) were ‘’Farmer Scholars’’ who were trained in China in the 1930s and were the forerunners of the Barefoot Doctors, of whom there were more than one million from the 1950s to the 1970s. history revealed after the Chinese revolution in 1949, a leader called Mao Tse-tung wanted to bring health care to rural areas. He sent some doctors from the city but they did not want to stay. So they trained the poor peasants to care for the health of their communities. These service providers were called barefoot doctors because many of them did not have any shoes. </p>
<p>Later in the 1960s and 1970s, small CHW programs began to emerge in various countries, particularly in Latin America. The experience from CHW programs predating the 1970s provided the inspiration for much larger CHW programs in many low-income countries in the 1980s. Following the failure of many of the programs in the 1980s and 1990s, new highly successful programs have emerged and demonstrated the effectiveness of community-based programs in improving child health.</p>
<p>In this 20th many developing countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, there are critical shortages of highly educated health professionals. Current medical and nursing schools cannot train enough workers to keep up with increasing demand for health care services, internal and external emigration of health workers, deaths from AIDS, COVID 19 and other diseases, low workforce productivity, and population growth. Community health workers are given a limited amount of training, supplies and support to provide essential primary health care services to the population.</p>
<p>There is now a resurgence of interest and growth of CHW programs around the world.
Document evidence suggest that Community health workers contribute to community development and can help communities improve access to basic health services. They are most effective when they are properly trained to provide information and services to the community and are the most promising form of delivering health services to resource-constrained areas. They are seen as secondary health services in most low-income countries and are available as a service to the community in an effort to achieving the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). CHW’s as the first line contact for health at the community level are faced with numerous challenges that hinders the quality as it relates to service delivery. Amongst these is the lack of adequate training for quality service delivery, lack of drugs and supplies, amongst others.
</p>
<p>For the achievement of UHC, and in addition to the different policies and strategies, there is a need for all actors (governments to include Community Health Workers, civil society, political parties, communities, international development partners, donors) to convene for experience sharing as well as galvanizing support for the improvement of quality services. </p>
