The World Health Assembly, convening together senior decision-makers on public health issues, was a crucial opportunity to step up the advocacy for investment in CHWs within the community health workforce needed to improve primary health care and epidemic/pandemic preparedness and response in Africa. In this regard, the African Union Commission and Africa CDC, in collaboration with partners, organized a high-level ministerial side event on community health workforce, systems and programs, on the margins of the 76th World Health Assembly, held on May 24th, 2023 in Geneva (Switzerland). The event was co-hosted by their Excellencies Ambassador Minata Samate Cessouma, Commissioner for Humanitarian and Social Affairs of the African Union Commission and Dr. Jean Kaseya, Director General of Africa CDC.
