Getting the right quantities of products to community health workers (CHWs) to treat sick children is critical to the success of CCM. Quantification is the first step in ensuring CHWs have the products they need when they need them.

This webinar provided program managers with a general overview of the quantification process for CCM, focusing on some of the unique considerations for the community level and potential options to address common challenges.

In order for community health workers (CHWs) trained in providing CCM services to help reduce child mortality from common and easily treatable diseases in children under 5, they need continuous access to pediatric-specific and appropriately packaged products of assured quality. Selection of optimal products and routine quantification are critical first steps in ensuring that CHWs have the products they need to provide life-saving services. However, since community health workers are at the end of the supply chain there are unique considerations needed in an approach to quantification to ensure that supplies are available in sufficient quantities to reach CHWs.
