This investment case describes how a stronger, more efficient and results oriented WHO can serve and guide governments and partners in their efforts to improve the health of their populations and to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3. WHO will achieve results: The five years to 2023 will determine whether the world will achieve the health- related SDGs. Early investment in WHO will keep the world on track towards SDG3 and the other health-related targets

The overall goal of this guideline is to assist national governments and national and international partners to improve the design, implementation, performance and evaluation of CHW programmes, contributing to the progressive realization of universal health coverage. This guideline is primarily focused on CHWs (as defined by the International Labour Organization through its International Standard Classification of Occupations), but its relevance and applicability include also other types of community-based health workers. The recommendations of this guideline are of relevance to health systems of countries at all levels of socioeconomic development.

This document is one of a technical series that supports the Global Conference on Primary Health Care, convened to renew commitment to Primary Health Care in light of Universal Health Coverage and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development. This background document, the Operational Framework, and the associated technical documents are informed by reviews of the literature, 2018 WHO Regional Reports on Primary Health Care, country case studies on PHC, a literature reviews on and synthesis of lessons learned in PHC implementation over the last 40 years, a number of workshops with key stakeholders that agreed on a global roadmap, input from the International Advisory Group on Primary Health Care, public consultations, expert review, and thematic reports on key issues relevant to Primary Health Care.

A community comes together to gain control over factors that have an impact on their lives and thereby, own the program from its design, inception, implementation and the outcomes. They are also the rightful owners of the risk and response and therefore the resources and results. In the context of PrEP the community leads all the above processes that includes governance, design, delivery, monitoring and therefore the results.
