Many developing and emerging countries are facing a severe shortage, and

significant skills gap, of frontline health workers

The Challenge: A Shortage of Trained Frontline Health Workers

3

By 2035, there will be a global deficit of 12.9 million skilled doctors, midwives and nurses.

This shortage is particularly critical in rural and remote areas.

Frontline health workers play a key role in reducing maternal & child mortality & combatting major diseases.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) help to fill the health worker gap, providing

basic health care & education to their communities, families and children

The Roles, Responsibilities and Impact of Well-Trained CHWs

4

Evidence shows CHWs can improve health outcomes for large populations in

under-served regions.

Full utilisation of CHWS could save 3.6 million children’s lives each year

However there is a pressing need for a more sustainable, scalable approach to

CHW capacity building

The Challenges in CHW Capacity-Building

• Following 10 days pre-service training CHWs are often left with little or no ongoing support.

• Refresher training is uncommon.

• Access to peer & supervisor support is variable, especially in rural areas.

5

Increasing demand for CHWs

Need for ongoing training & support

Face to face training is expensive and time-intensive

• Ministries of Health are strengthening their community health policies, particularly around the training and support of CHWs.

• They need require partners and new capabilities to support this.

• Running ten-day face to face training sessions takes a lot of time (for implementers, Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWs) and CHWs).

• The costs of face to face training limit scale (travel, accommodation, venue etc).

This presents an opportunity to realize lasting health change by providing CHWs

with the knowledge and skills to break the cycle of poor health & poverty

The Opportunities for HELP to Support CHW Capacity Building

• There is increasing global recognition of the importance of CHWs

• Ministries of Health (MOHs) are developing strategies, curricula and content for CHWs

• CHW training organisations want to collaborate to enable scale and sustainability

• 97% of CHWs have a mobile phone

6

HELP provides a more sustainable, scalable solution for CHW capacity

building, leveraging the mobile phone in the CHW’s pocket and available to all

CHW training organisations.

Our sophisticated learning manager system schedules delivery of curriculum topics & learning activities, following our mPedagogy.

HELP is a mobile phone-based tool to train and empower CHWs flexibly,

when it suits them

An Introduction to HELP

8

CHEWs can use mobile reports to monitor CHW progress, identify top performers & motivate learning. Each user had a personal digital record of their training.

Health decision trees support real-time diagnosis of prevalent diseases, as well as introducing gamification to motivate learning.

Our group chat feature promotes collaboration & discussion of health issues between CHWs & CHEWs.

HELP works on even the most basic mobile communication channels, delivering content in English & Swahili.*

Content search allows users to access any mTopic, as they need.

We believe we can strengthen the health system broadly by focusing on building

the capacity of the community health workforce from the ground up

Impact Framework (Theory of Change)

Enabling health workers to be

better at their jobs providing

first-line healthcare

o On-demand access to essential

information, tools and services

o Collaboration tools for knowledge

sharing & support

Better equipped health

workers provide better care

and have higher

performance, leading to

improved community health

Provide effective, high quality

training to more health

workers, more efficiently

o Blended learning reduces F2F reqts

& improves learning experience

o Structured pedagogy delivers high

quality MoH-approved content and

drives impact

More health workers are

better at their job which

increases motivation, job

satisfaction and retention

9

Improve health worker

performance and strengthen

workforce management

o Build capacity of supervisors with

richer content and supervision tools

o Connect CHVs to the formal health

system and create digital records of

their training and career

development

All aspects of the health

system strengthen due to

health workers having more

capacity and supervisors

better able to manage the

health workforce

Training with HELP was very effective, improving CHW post test scores by an

average of 15%

The effect of the different training approaches on quiz scores

32

We tested three training approaches:1. Face-to-face: learners received complete training using the traditional face-to-face approach.2. Complementary: content covered in face-to-face training was also delivered through mLearning to provide

repetitive exposure to the learning content. 3. Supplementary: learners received some of the content through face-to-face and the remainder through

mLearning. This was aimed at assessing if mLearning alone was effective.

Scores for the best, and worst, topics

Family Planning Kenya Essential Package for Health

• The ‘Family Planning’ mTopic had the highest completion rate (92% average across the 3 sites).

• The ‘Kenya Essential Package for Health’ had the lowest uptake (77%) – with a notably low uptake in Kibera (59%).

• Completion of the mTopic appears to be correlated with high scores in Mwingi and Samburu, but not Kibera.

Based on interviews with 245 CHWs and three focus groups with 36 CHWs.

However CHWs faced a number of challenges when using HELP

The Challenges of the Phase 1 Pilot

• CHWs reported difficulties accessing the help desk.

• CHWs would run out of memory on their phones and so have to delete content SMSs (a Search feature has been added to address this).

• The presence of other projects in implementing sites created some misunderstanding and expectations amongst CHWs.

• CHWs struggled with USSD (this has since been dropped).

An essential aspect of Phase 2 is to extend our understanding of the impact of

HELP

The Phase 2 Monitoring & Evaluation Approach

40

• Measuring outputs, outcomes and impact of the programme

• Evaluating the effects on CHW & CHEW employability.

• Health worker empowerment, job satisfaction and long-term retention

• Interactive, rather than didactic, relationship to a knowledge and skills resource

• Extend engagement of communities and patient populations in managing health care.

• Technology platform and 3rd party integration

• Ownership of HELP by stakeholders

• Alignment to MoH Community Health Strategy & government policy

• Potential funding models • mLearning contribution to learning

outcomes.
