Ministers, community health workers, and funders will share their experiences and lessons learned as they have worked to design and implement gender-transformative policies. This includes: Liberia’s experience revising national policy to recruit and retain female community health workers, Ethiopia’s experience building the largely female health extension worker program, and Pakistan’s experience of the Lady Health Worker Programme since its establishment in 1994.
