Knowledge of and access to frontline workers among poor, rural households in Amhara region, Ethiopia: a mixed-methods study
Abstract
Social protection programmes have efectively reduced poverty and improved food security. However,
the efects of poverty require an intersectoral approach to adequately address poor nutrition and health. Identifying
gaps in knowledge and access to frontline workers who oversee these integrations is critical for understanding the
potential for integrated social protection programming to improve these outcomes. We measured levels of social
protection programme participants’ knowledge of and interaction with social workers (SWs) and health extension
workers (HEWs) in rural Ethiopia
