Sri Lanka: Evaluation of Current Community Health Worker Policies and System Support and their Readiness for Community Health Workers’ Expanding Roles and Responsibilities within Post-Astana National Health Care Strengthening Plans
Overview
In order to understand the CHW policies and system support that are currently in place to support the effective functioning of CHW programmes, and to determine the key policy adjustments and interventions needed to address any gaps, a formative evaluation was conducted of Community Health Worker (CHW) policies and systems support in South Asian countries. The evaluation also assessed the readiness of CHW programmes for their expanding or changing roles and responsibilities within the post-Astana national health care strengthening plans. The evaluation responds to the following three key evaluation questions (KEQ): 1. KEQ 1: What are the current profiles, roles and responsibilities, policies and system support in relation to each CHW cadre? 2. KEQ 2: What policy and system support improvements are needed to realistically optimise the CHW profiles and roles and responsibilities of CHWs to better serve maternal and newborn health and to respond to the post-Astana or Primary Health Care (PHC) reforms and strengthening. 3. KEQ 3: What prioritized measures can be taken by government and partners to strengthen health policy and system supports to optimize the contribution that each CHW cadre is able to make to PHC? (Note: The budget given reflects total budget for all the CHW evaluations for CO in the region as all CO evaluations was a part of one TOR)
