In 2023, we provided support to 11,429 community health workers (CHWs) and reached out to 6,179,910 people across the three countries where we operate. We are extremely grateful to the CHWs who tirelessly serve their communities, the governments we collaborate with, our funders who actively support our work, and our partners who we team up with and learn from. You can learn more about our work by checking out our annual report: https://lnkd.in/dsMi6dzs #CommunityHealth #DigitalHealth #Impact #CHWs #Kenya #Uganda #BurkinaFaso #annualreport Here are four ways we made a positive impact in 2023.

Closing Africa’s community health funding gap is critical! 💰 We are working to catalyze USD $2 billion by 2030 in order to scale 200,000 community health workers to reach 100 million people across the continent. 🚀 Together, we can transform how community health is financed in Africa. 🌍 #UNGA79

It's an exciting week for BHPN as we launched the new Public Health Primer: Engaging Community Development for Health Equity! The primer was developed through a collaboration between Build Healthy Places Network and the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) to establish mutually supportive collaborations between these two sectors to advance health equity. It emphasizes the importance of resident leadership and provides guidance on how relationship-building can address injustices and promote equitable change in communities.

Our purpose and goal at Auxilium is health equity for everyone. Health equity is attainment at the highest level of health for everyone in the community. It means a focused and ongoing effort to address avoidable socioeconomic in health, healthcare and community development. Also, we at Auxilium realize that a person's health is intrinsically tied to their economic well-being and that financial instability has direct ramifications on their health. The connection between health and community development is clear: the healthier a community is, the wealthier a community is. Low-to-moderate income communities tend to suffer more from health issues than wealthier neighborhoods. At Auxilium, we aim to address this inequality and help these communities get the healthcare they deserve.

CIH Cymru suggests that removing the stigma associated with social housing could help address the shortage of it in Wales. Opposition stemming from this stigma has seriously delayed a number of social housing developments and can interfere with delivering units where they're needed most. Community engagement can help address this and identify areas most in need of particular forms of housing. Rural enablers will play an especially important role in changing attitudes, with the eventual goal of streamlining the development process. Do you think a similar approach could work in Ireland? #SocialHousing #CommunityEngagement #HousingPolicy #AffordableHousing

Health inequality, where social, economic, or environmental factors create health disparities across groups of people, is an important aspect of Local Development Companies' work. 14 LDCs are currently delivering the Sláintecare Healthy Communities (SCP) programme, which aims to reduce health inequality, on a pilot basis. The infographic below illustrates the depth of impact that these 14 companies alone had in 2023. Numerous other LDCs are delivering similar services outside the scope of SCP, and their impact is not captured here. If you, or someone you know, would benefit from these supports, contact your nearest LDC to see if they are provided in your area. All supports are provided free of charge.

Each week Chatham-Kent Employment & Social Services provides a snapshot of the approximate number of people in Chatham-Kent experiencing homelessness and the number of households that are accessing emergency housing. Attached is this week’s review: 44 households 2 families 2 children 190 individuals on the ByName list 3 new users for the first time These stats do not include individuals supporting themselves at local motels. This is where we need to be focusing our municipal finances and efforts. There is no point in focusing on any other downtown Chatham proposals until this issue has been addressed in a much more fulsome way. If there is $60million available to be spent on unnecessarily moving three municipal buildings two blocks, why not spend half that (or even a quarter, or a tenth) on what our community actually needs. And what we desperately need is housing and supports across the continuum here in CK.
