While this position provides CHWs with a good platform to improve community health, a major challenge in large-scale CHW programmes is the need for CHWs to establish and maintain benefcial relationships with both sets of actors, who may have diferent expectations and needs.

Connecting global priorities: biodiversity and human health: a state of knowledge review
South Africa has a long history of community health workers (CHWs). It has been a journey that has required balancing constrained resources and competing priorities.
