    • Asma Begum (37) and her husband Abdul with their three daughters Lamia (18), Sadia (16) and Maria (5) and their grandmother Kulsum Begum (72) started CRAAIN in 2020. Asma Begum started as a lead farmer, received training and seeds. Before, she did agri activities but wasn’t very successful. She had received one ring composter from the local gov but no training on how to use it. As a lead farmer, she has supported 400 households in this area. She used to rely on her husband but is now totally reliable.

          This abstract was submitted for the Symposium on Community Health Workers and Their Contribution Towards the Sustainable Development Goals held in Kampala, Uganda in February 2017.

          The paper's topic was: "Can stakeholder engagement with community-level health data improve performance of volunteer CHWs? An experience from the slums of Freetown, Sierra Leone".
