Community Health Worker Workload and Remuneration Position Paper

As of 2025, World Vision was working with close to 194,000 community health workers (CHWs) in 43 countries. This number rose to more than 250,000 during WV’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

This position paper outlines World Vision’s stance on fair remuneration and manageable workloads for CHWs. It emphasises ethical engagement, alignment with WHO and ILO guidelines, and advocacy for gender equity and sustainable integration of CHWs into national health systems to advance universal health coverage and child well-being.
