Background 

Community Health Workers from Kenya, Mozambique, and Burkina Faso share their experiences in delivering primary health care within their communities. Through an interactive dialogue, they reflect on the challenges they face and the solutions they envision.
The webinar highlights their vital role as trusted connectors, educators, mobilizers of community health, and agents of change.
But how well is this role recognized?
