Short description<\/strong>
\nIntegrated community case management (iCCM), the delivery of timely and low-cost interventions at the community level by community health workers (CHWs), is promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF), the United states Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Global Health Initiative (GHI) as an effective strategy to deliver life-saving interventions for these illnesses.
\nAlthough iCCM has shown great promise in increasing health coverage, especially for children living in remote locations, some low income countries have not implemented iCCM programs, partly due to their concern or uncertainty about the costs and financing of iCCM programs.
\nThis tool is easy to use and easily adapted to individual community health programs and intervention packages.<\/p>\n

Purpose<\/strong>
\nThe purpose of this tool is to provide evidence-based data for implementing, scaling-up, and maintaining integrated community case management (iCCM) activities that will be useful for conducting feasibility\/sustainability studies, for assessment of cost-effectiveness, for planning financing strategies and mechanisms.<\/p>\n
