Community Health Impact Coalition (CHIC) Policy Dashboard 2.0
The Community Health Impact Coalition has released version 2.0 of its proCHW Policy Dashboard, and it asks a harder question than the 2023 baseline did: not whether countries have community health worker policies, but whether those policies are actually being implemented.
Seven implementation indicators across the Countdown to 2030 countries , dedicated budget lines, national registries, MERL frameworks, costed plans. It also flags every policy set to expire within 24 months, which is to say it maps the windows where advocacy can still move something.
This is the work The Valerian Fund supports. One of the 3 pillars is research, advocacy, and policy reform, because evidence that stays in a report changes nothing. Women disproportionately shoulder the health burdens of a warming planet, and they are also the ones adapting, nurturing, and holding communities together. Investing in that workforce, on terms that are salaried, supervised, supplied, and skilled, is climate resilience.
Philanthropy has a responsibility here: to scaffold local solutions long enough for them to take root.
