Abstract

This study contributes to a better understanding of the geographical coverage and socio-demographic characteristics of government CHWs in Togo. Optimising the size and coverage of CHWs to ensure people's access to primary healthcare would merit further investigation, as would the issues of gender equity, remuneration and the working hours of CHWs.
