Though they are chosen from among members of the community to work closely with the CHO to deliver health care, they have needs of their own. Volunteers need constant encouragement because the work they do is so important yet so difficult and time-consuming. In places where the volunteers get community support and constant encouragement, they have served their communities all their lives. Yet in other communities where volunteers don’t get recognition and assistance, they lose interest in their work and 175

The next exercise will help us to think through some of the things that we can do to motivate volunteers. Exercise 3.4.2 Objective 1.

These days our supervisors evaluate our work with us and teach us how to do this in an interactive way. The approach is called facilitative supervision. It requires planning, information gathering and the use of the information for community health work to improve service delivery. Even though this method takes a bit of time to implement, it is a useful tool that involves both the supervisor and those being supervised. It gives everyone a chance to work to improve community health.
