AFF, a partnership from @join_chic, @FinancingAllian & @lastmilehealth, drives smarter, more effective financing to bring lifesaving care to millions.

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

In a challenging time for global health, a set of catalytic investments led by the @GlobalFund and partners supported over 106,000 community health workers – reaching 76 million people with essential care across Africa.

A powerful example of partnership to accelerate progress against HIV, TB & malaria & build strong community health systems. #SkollWF

In the face of challenge, optimism is a choice & it’s our responsibility.

Our year-end letter shares why we have hope, grounded in evidence & rooted in collective agency—& why optimism belongs at the heart of our vision for the future of community health: https://t.co/kga4lDoOwh

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

For nearly 20 years, @GlobalFund investments have supported Sierra Leone to expand lifesaving HIV, TB and malaria services. With support from local partners and Project BIRCH, the Ministry of Health is advancing Vision 2030 – a path toward a professional, government-led community health workforce that brings quality care to the most rural and remote communities. #HealthForAll #UHCDay

In Sierra Leone, CHWs are bringing care within reach. With catalytic funding from @GlobalFund & technical partnership from @lastmilehealth, the Ministry of Health has charted a roadmap toward an ambitious vision for an institutionalized #proCHW workforce: https://t.co/d4ipuzIROw

[Africa Frontline First @Frontline1st]

CHWs are the first — and often only — line of defense for vaccine delivery.
Too many still work without pay or protection.
👉 Let’s invest in CHWs, strengthen health systems & protect everyone.

"Health sovereignty is the destination. It’s by supporting countries with financing, technical assistance & political will to increase domestic financing that we get there," said @Frontline1st's Nan Chen at AFF's #UNGA80 roundtable. Our UNGA key takeaways: https://t.co/LNtfafLOhC

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

Alongside #UNGA80, @GlobalFund, @JNJHealthEquity, @SkollFoundation & @Frontline1st are bringing together ministers of health, community advocates & private sector partners to prioritize investing in community health workers – the backbone of strong & resilient health systems. #HealthForAll

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

In Ethiopia, over 40,000 salaried health extension workers – mostly women – have been trained to deliver essential health care to their communities.

With support in part by @Frontline1st, they now have the tools & training needed to reach more people with lifesaving care.

On the sidelines of #UNGA80, leaders from @JNJHealthEquity, @SkollFoundation, @AfricaCDC, community health workers (CHWs), African governments & partners spotlight the Africa @Frontline1st Catalytic Fund as a powerful model for private & philanthropic investment in CHWs and health systems strengthening.

Working together, we can protect hard-won gains, build stronger, more resilient health systems and save lives. #HealthForAll

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

Thank you @JNJHealthEquity Foundation for your leadership and pledge to the @GlobalFund’s Eighth Replenishment, and continued support for the Africa @Frontline1st (AFF) Catalytic Fund.

Working together, we are equipping community health workers with the tools, training and support they need to build stronger, more resilient health systems and save lives.

Together, we will #StopAtNothing to end AIDS, TB and malaria. #UNGA80

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

“Community health workers are essential for keeping us safe, keeping us well, and reducing the burden on the health system.“

- Alice Lin Fabiano @JNJNews highlights their commitment to #proCHWs through @Frontline1st.

#UNGA80 @FHWCoalition

[Africa Frontline First @Frontline1st]

#proCHWs aren’t just a cost-saving measure—they are the foundation of stronger, more resilient health systems. When CHWs are paid, the ripple effects extend far beyond individual care, reaching entire communities and generations. #HealthForAll #Hope4CHWs #UNGA80

[Africa Frontline First @Frontline1st]

We're excited to join leaders, partners, and policymakers for the #UNGA80. At a time when foreign aid cuts threaten community health progress, we'll share insights from our work across 17 countries and advocate for domestic ownership & long-term investments in community health.

[Living Goods @Living_Goods]

In Uganda, Community Health Extension Workers are a lifeline for families.
But for years, they lacked the tools to work at their best.
Through the #BIRCH project, we’ve changed that, creating data-driven workflows that guide CHEWs to where they’re needed most. 💡
