Health Policy and System Support to Optimize Community Health Worker Programmes for HIV, TB and Malaria Services

The past two decades have seen unprecedented progress in fighting HIV, TB and malaria, although a further acceleration is required to achieve national and global goals. Progress has been uneven across regions, population groups and interventions. Achieving the ambitious goals of the Sustainable Development Agenda requires leveraging lessons learned and scientific progress, including efforts to scale up cost-effective approaches that reach key populations through wider primary health care (PHC) and health systems strengthening strategies, and ensuring adequate levels of domestic funding, complemented, where required, by development partner support.
