Unidos: Mobilizing Communities for People’s Health

This workshop will focus on the essential role as both, health workers and socio-cultural links that promotores play in community mobilization projects from a community health worker/promotor perspective, a coordinator perspective, and a managerial perspective.

Objectives:

  1. Participants will describe what community mobilization is and its importance in projects related to promotores.
  2. Participants will discuss challenges and successes experienced during the course of the Unidos community mobilization project.
  3. Participants will develop ideas for how to form effective, stronger connections between promotores and medical providers in the context of community mobilization programs.
