Our Approach

Five Strategic Levers for Transformation

ACHA drives systems transformation through five interconnected strategic levers.

ACHA serves as a systems accelerator that helps countries move from fragmented and project-driven community health programming to coordinated, government-led, and sustainably financed community health systems. By focusing on system architecture rather than service delivery, ACHA strengthens national ownership, improves coordination, accelerates scale, and enhances the long-term impact and sustainability of investments in community health.

01

Institutionalize

Strengthening policies, governance structures, financing mechanisms, workforce systems, and accountability frameworks to embed community health as a permanent component of national health systems.

02

Integrate

Connecting community-based services with Primary Health Care facilities and referral systems to ensure continuity, efficiency, quality, and equity of care.

03

Align

Reducing fragmentation by bringing together governments, partners, implementers, researchers, and communities around shared priorities, coordinated approaches, and country-led solutions.

04

Accelerate

Supporting the adoption and scale-up of proven community health models, innovations, and best practices that improve system performance and population health outcomes.

05

Sustain

Strengthening domestic capacity, financing, leadership, data systems, and institutional resilience to ensure lasting impact beyond project and funding cycles.
