Michele Gaudrault is the technical director of health and nutrition at World Vision International. Michele oversees WVI’s support of more than 184,000 CHWs in 45 countries. WVI’s work in this area focuses not only on the services that CHWs provide in their communities but also — in collaboration with ministries of health — on the health systems strengthening needed to ensure that CHWs are progressively integrated into national systems and professionalized, and that receive the support they require and deserve.
