Community health in Matabeleland North

A comprehensive, integrated set of five core interventions

Health workforce development through integrated clinical mentorship.

On‑job clinical mentorship & telehealth

Using program data to make informed decisions.

Routine data + abstracts into W4L database

We gather routine data through monthly return forms and abstract from primary sources. Data is analyzed and actions taken as needed.

The W4L MERL framework tracks KPIs for all donor projects, eliminating silo reporting.

Putting the community at the centre of collaborative efforts.

Village health workers & volunteers

Frontline community cadres deliver appropriate care at grassroots level, drive health programs, and establish robust follow‑up mechanisms.

Outreach to remotest parts
