CMHW supervision requirements

 CHW supervision involves guiding, supporting, and monitoring Community Health Workers (CHWs) to ensure they effectively connect communities with health services, focusing on supportive strategies like joint problem-solving, mentoring, and fostering trust, rather than traditional top-down management. Effective supervision bridges the gap between the CHW and the broader health system, addressing unique challenges and promoting both CHW retention and program success.
