Competency and Curriculum Guidelines for Community Animal Health Workers

The guidelines have been designed to be comprehensive and they aim to cover all the competencies that Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) may need over time. Therefore, when developing a training programme for CAHWs with the help of this document, users should first list the competencies that learners are expected to have gained at the end of the training and refer to the modules/units that are relevant to their needs.

This document is a competency-based curriculum: each competency corresponds to specific learning outcomes that will need to be achieved to ensure that the CAHWs attain the expected competencies.

These guidelines are also available on WOAH’s Documentary Portal by opening this link (https://doc.woah.org/) and typing ‘CAHWs’ in the Portal’s search bar.
