Core Group

Vision

The Community Child Health Working Group supports the development, documentation and advocacy of strong, truly integrated program approaches that maximize community-based child health impact. The Working Group enhances NGO capacity to:

a) Address the needs of the sick child with a comprehensive approach from prenatal to age five, across the most prevalent diseases, and across the community – facility continuum of care.

b) Run high-quality, evidence-based and well-measured CCM programs, and to collaborate with other NGOs when located in the same country or region to better link with national programs.

c) Strengthen efficient and effective community health systems that deliver packages of maternal child health interventions tailored to address specific contextual needs and opportunities. (Community Health Systems Taskforce)
