Performance of volunteer community health workers in implementing home-fortification interventions in Bangladesh: A qualitative investigation

Abstract

BRAC's volunteer SS model faces challenges at individual, community, programme and organisational level. Importantly, BRAC's SS require a living wage to earn essential income for their family. Considering the current socio-cultural and economic context of Bangladesh, BRAC may need to revise the existing volunteer SS model to ensure that SS receive an adequate income so that they can devote themselves to implementing its home-fortification intervention.
