The document discusses the CHW AIM Toolkit, which provides guidance, tools and resources to strengthen community health worker programs. It has been field tested in several countries. The toolkit includes matrices and tools to assess 12 components of CHW program functionality. Results from 19 programs showed average scores below 3, indicating most programs need strengthening. An operations research study is underway to test if applying the toolkit improves CHW performance. A Community of Practice website (CHWCentral.org) was also launched to facilitate information sharing between CHW programs.
