PD 02a – Community Health Delivery Partnership (CHDP) 

Launched at the World Health Summit in 2023, the Community Health Delivery Partnership (CHDP) is a country-oriented collaboration of global, regional, and national stakeholders committed to increasing access to equitable, high-quality essential health services through community-based primary care.  

Through a panel discussion, this event offers an opportunity for countries to share their national community health priorities, challenges, and opportunities, while creating a platform for peer-to-peer learning. Additionally, partners will reflect on the CHDP commitments—aligned and increased public and external financing, stronger partnerships and strategic country engagement, accelerated and coordinated catalytic technical assistance, measurement and tracking of resources and investments, high-level advocacy at the country level, and knowledge sharing and learning—as part of their coordinated support to countries.  

Pivotal to this discussion will be a focus on Community Health Workers (CHWs), who serve as vital providers of community based primary care. Often, CHWs lack formal legal status and do not receive the same rights and protections as the broader health workforce. Many countries have prioritized bold reforms that include developing legal and regulatory frameworks necessary to recognize and fully integrate CHWs into their health systems.  

Countries are leading change and leveraging regional and global partnerships to build political momentum and foster cross-country dialogue and learning. This session provides a valuable platform for stakeholders and countries to exchange data-driven insights, reflect on the CHDP's progress, and invites participants to collaborate with countries and partners to accelerate progress.

LaToya Ruby Frazier’s More Than Conquerors: A Monument for Community Health Workers of Baltimore, Maryland, commissioned for the 58th Carnegie International, reconceptualizes what a monument can be.

Born in Braddock, Pennsylvania, and based in Chicago, Frazier uses photography to tell the stories of community health workers in Baltimore during the pandemic. Stemming from workshops as part of a participatory research study led by Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity, Frazier’s installation centers health workers and their voices.

LaToya Ruby Frazier received the 58th Carnegie Prize for A Monument for Community Health Workers of Baltimore, Maryland. The Carnegie Prize is a long-running tradition at Carnegie Museum of Art, as old as the Carnegie International itself. It has been awarded to one artwork in each iteration of the Carnegie International since 1896.

 Over the last seven years, University of Pennsylvania researchers have refined a "Community Health Worker" program that is so successful that it is now being adopted by hospitals and health care systems across the country. At the 2018 Penn Medicine Innovation Accelerator Pitch Day, Penn Medicine Community Health Worker Program COO Jill Feldstein explains why the Penn system is so different. May 23, 2018

Hosted by Partners in Health.

  Across the country, community health workers have become trusted messengers on the front lines of strong primary care systems, accompanying patients, helping manage care, and coordinating with health centers and hospitals. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, this workforce has ensured people have the social and material support they need to stay safe, while also building trust in the vaccines.  

PIH, alongside community health workers, advocates, and policy experts, will lead a dialogue speaking to the essential role of this community-based workforce. We'll examine how community health workers bolster overstretched public health systems and call for national investments in these roles.
