CORE Group's Community Health Network

CORE Group convenes the Community Health Network, a community of practice fueled by more than 50 member organizations that come together with advocates, scholars, private sector, multilateral/global alliance representatives and others.

The Community Health Network advances the field of community-focused health programming by:
·    Systematizing and standardizing best practices
·    Generating recommendations, guidance and challenges for better programming
·    Creating and disseminating practical tools and approaches
·    Building capabilities of global health organizations and their in-country partners
·    Offering practical training and development for the global health workforce
·    Fostering partnerships and collaborative action

Much of this network activity takes place through eight technical Working Groups and our Practitioner Academy for Community Health.
