Popis:	Background In Rwanda, 30,000 volunteer community health workers (CHWs) treat children under five for pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria. A 2010 community supply chain (SC) assessment identified a lack of SC skills and poor coordination between CHWs, health centres (HCs) and districts as barriers to CHW product availability. SC4CCM tested standard resupply procedures (RSPs) and multi-level quality improvement teams (QITs) to strengthen coordination and problem-solving between levels to improve supply chain processes and outcomes.
