Household coverage of Swaziland's national community health worker programme: a cross ‐sectional population‐based study

ConclusionsSwaziland's national CHW programme is falling far short of its coverage goal. To improve coverage, the programme would likely need to recruit additional CHWs and/or assign more households to each CHW. Alternatively, changing the programme'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 programmes in sub‐Saharan Africa.
