Join PtD as we bring together the Community Health Impact Coalition, VillageReach, the government of Liberia, USAID and community health workers (CHWs) to examine the supply chain barriers that prevent CHWs from fulfilling their roles and providing patients with access to health supplies in Liberia.

The webinar will centre on the application of PtD’s Human resources for supply chain management theory of change in Liberia, which was used to examine CHWs in their capacity as members of the supply chain workforce.
