dc.description.abstractResults of the study confirm the capacity of community health workers, or “community-based distributors” (CBDs), under routine programme implementation of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC). Mandating CBDs with targeted tasks is a successful functional model, as they achieve mastery where investments are made in training and supervision. Losing this specificity by extending CBDs’ mandates beyond SMC could have undesirable consequences. The added value of retaining committed CBDs is high. It is suggested that motivation and commitment be considered in recruitment, and that a supportive climate be created to foster retention of workers.en
