Why
The Leap training program was created in partnership with Accenture and AMREF in an attempt to counterbalance the lack of skilled doctors and health workers. It is estimated that in 2035, Africa will face a deficit of 12.9 million doctors, midwives, and nurses. We believe the shortage can be mitigated by providing long-lasting training programmes for Community Health Volunteers (CHVs).
CHVs empowered by our training solutions can help fill the health worker gap by providing basic healthcare and education in their communities. Leap offers a more sustainable and scalable approach to CHV capacity building, ensuring a long-lasting impact on communities’ health.
What
Mezzanine’s Learning Platform for Remote Health Workers (also known as the Leap training program) is a health-related mobile application. Health departments use it to train Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) in the field, empowering them to render health services in their communities.
Thanks to its simple communications infrastructure, Leap is easily accessible. In fact, volunteers can access information from their personal devices—whether features or smartphones—cutting costs and time spent distributing additional devices. Leap offers structured learning programs for CHVs via mobile phone using audio technology and SMS. Other functions include group chats, job aids, content search, and diagnostic trees.
Users can additionally adjust topics and curriculum to address specific learning needs and play an active role in the learning process by sharing best practice cases, information, and advice via the app. Furthermore, it allows for health worker supervision, creating performance management reports, providing workforce management data, advisory content, and training.
Where
The service is live in Kenya, with over 330,000 Community Health Workers trained through the application.
