Resources: Case study
Working alongside health extension workers, health development army volunteers, many of them women, encourage behaviour change by regularly visiting neighbours to teach them about global health initiatives and encouraging good health practices.
Integrated Community-based Interventions for Malaria Services (ICIMS) is a three-year James Percy Foundation-funded project that aims to improve the uptake and quality of community-based health services for over 507,000 people in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region of Ethiopia. This case study highlights the role of health workers in the fight against malaria.
