Foundational Sessions
These sessions provide an introduction to Community Health Programming concepts and how to adapt them to the exigencies of COVID-19, including prioritizing essential health services, the role of Community Health Workers, and caring for particularly vulnerable and high-risk groups. (5 sessions)
Session 1: Introduction to Community Health Programming
What is community health programming? In this session, Donatella Massai, Senior Technical Lead for READY, defines key elements of CHP and the necessary adaptations for mitigating the transmission of COVID-19 at the community level. Donatella also examines applications of CHP in varied contexts, and the related challenges.
Session 2: Prioritization of Essential Community Health Services
Now more than ever, organizations are being forced to prioritize the community services they provide. In this session, Research Associate Daniella Trowbridge from the Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health reviews how to prioritize essential services during COVID-19, and the related actions for differing humanitarian contexts. Daniella will also introduce some of the key adaptations to consider when modifying CHP activities for COVID-19.
Session 3: Role of the Community Health Worker in COVID-19
As the role of the Community Health Worker continues to evolve over the course of the pandemic, particularly where engagement with communities must be minimized, where can they be the most effective? This session examines Community Health Worker activities during COVID-19, and the adaptations necessary to ensure their role is safe and effective at minimizing COVID-19 transmission.
Session 4: Care for Vulnerable and High-Risk Individuals
Who is at risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes in humanitarian settings? This session reviews who is the most vulnerable, and addresses the challenges in caring for these groups. The session also touches on accompanying activities, such as preparing a household and training caregivers when there is a mild or suspected case of COVID-19.
Session 5: Cross-Cutting Considerations
This foundational session provides an overview of several cross-cutting sectors, including gender, mental health, and others; the impacts of COVID-19 on these sectors; and specific actions to integrate these sectors into community-level activities. This session also reviews the linkages between the three modules of this training series, and reemphasizes the centrality of the community in the larger COVID-19 response.
Expert Interviews
These videos highlight real-life programmatic application of IPC and WASH concepts. Technical experts and program delivery staff give concrete, experience-based examples of IPC and WASH implementation. (3 interviews)
Entrevista 1: Programación de salud comunitaria en los campos de refugiados rohingya
In this interview, we hear from Sarah Collis, Health Programme Manager for UK-Med in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

Entrevista 2: Adaptaciones de COVID-19 a la programación de salud comunitaria para poblaciones migrantes
Kit Leung, from the International Organization for Migration, shares her experience in adapting existing migrant programming to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kit emphasizes how adapting specific community health programming was key to providing a continuum of care to beneficiaries, and describes IOM’s effort to integrate different sectors to meet the needs of the communities they serve.
Entrevista 3: Adaptaciones del programa de salud comunitaria: del ébola al COVID-19
Dr. Linda Mobula, Senior Health Specialist from the World Bank, shares her experience working in Community Health Programming during the Ebola epidemic in DRC, and how those lessons learned can translate to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Mobula concludes with three key takeaways for NGOs to consider for their community health programming.
