An action-oriented collaborative of 30+ organizations dedicated to protecting Community Health Workers (CHWs) on the frontlines of Africa’s COVID-19 response
At our virtual event, CAF-Africa partners shared what we learned, what gaps remain, and explored solutions for the future to make sure CHWs are supported, protected, and supplied.
