Understanding Factors That Support Community Health Worker Motivation, Job Satisfaction, and Performance in Three Ugandan Districts: Opportunities for Strengthening Uganda's Community Health Worker Program

Shivani Pandya et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify barriers in the effective implementation of financial and non-financial incentives in Uganda's community health worker (CHW) program. The findings suggest that CHWs are motivated by non-monetary factors such as recognition, access to transportation, and training opportunities, as well as monetary factors including monthly stipends and timely payment systems. CHWs also expressed an interest in being considered for a salaried CHW cadre. Therefore, providing a balanced combination of monetary and non-monetary incentives is crucial for the success of the CHW program.

Dirceu Mabunda et al.
