Household coverage of Swaziland's national community health worker program: A cross ‐sectional population‐based study
ConclusionsSwaziland's national CHW program is falling far short of its coverage goal. To improve coverage, the program would likely need to recruit additional CHWs and/or assign more households to each CHW. Alternatively, changing the program's ambitious coverage goal to visiting only certain types of households would likely reduce existing arbitrary differences in coverage between households and communities. This study highlights the need to evaluate and reform large long‐standing CHW programs in sub‐Saharan Africa.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
