Evaluating the Impact of a Community Health Worker Program in Neno, Malawi

The proposed intervention is a 'Household Model' where, instead of being assigned to HIV or TB patients, CHWs will rather be assigned to households and will be trained to provide support for a wider range of conditions including HIV, hypertension, diabetes and pediatric malnutrition. The new model is designed to improve retention in care for clients with chronic, non-communicable diseases, along with increased uptake of women's health services and treatment for pediatric malnutrition, while sustaining the high retention rates for clients in the HIV program.
