Activities within the grant and expected impact:
During the second phase of support, CHC is focusing primarily on young individuals already working with, or proposing to work with Community Based Organisations and programmes in the voluntary and development sector. It is also focusing on the national perspective on community and public health learning through facilitation of intercultural involvement.

Additionally, considering the vast HR gap in the sector and limited resources within the organisation, this phase also experiments with how fellows can network with each other and build linkages between organisations, community health groups, etc. It will also see CHC metamorphose into a resource agency enhancing solidarity towards the country’s health initiative.

	Full time fellowship programme
	Flexible fellowship programme
	Extension learning, networking and resource support
	Documentation
	Dissemination and advocacy
	Monitoring and evaluation
	Development as a resource centre

The project would help train around 42 professionals in community health, and through their efforts, benefit under-served population at grass root level. The project would also lead to documentation and dissemination of the best practices through developing modules, information pamphlets and newsletters on the experiences, which would be extensively shared with the stakeholders in the sector. The project would also help highlight and provide practical solutions for gaps in health training.

CHC would work with six organisations to help build their capacities through exposure visits and training programmes to enable them to replicate learning in community health. The project would also see the setting up of an alumni committee that would monitor the progress of fellows who have completed their training.
