Organisation Launches Digital Learning Platform, Trains 500 Health Workers

An organisation active in the health care sector, has launched a digital learning platform while training 500 workers in the bid to expand it activities.

The organisation, CARE Nigeria did so through its Enhancing Resilience in Frontline Community Health Workers (EnRiCH) Project.

The scheme also trained 500 Frontline Health Workers (FLHWs) across Katsina, Mani, and Charanchi Local Government Areas (LGAs).

CARE Nigeria Health Sector Lead, Dr. Amina Abdullahi, said the digital learning platform is to enable the beneficiaries with digital tools and new skills to strengthen health service delivery in their communities.

“Frontline community health workers are the backbone of Nigeria’s primary health care system, especially in rural and underserved communities”, she said.

“Through EnRiCH, we are investing not only in their technical skills but also in their digital capacity, financial resilience, and agency as change agents.

“This holistic approach ensures they are better equipped, more motivated, and deeply rooted in the communities they serve, ultimately driving better health outcomes for women, children, and families across Katsina State.

“This is what it means to build resilience from the ground up, and we are proud to walk this journey with the government and our partners,” she said.

All 500 participants received smartphones preloaded with the EnRiCH Digital Learning Platform (DLP), an innovative mobile-based tool designed to promote continuous learning, mentorship, and peer-to-peer collaboration.

The initiative is to enable health workers access up-to-date guidelines, complete online learning modules, and refresh their knowledge anytime, anywhere, bridging the gap between traditional training and real-time service delivery.

The training also introduced the Frontline Health Workers Savings and Loans Association (FSLA) model, which promotes financial literacy, collective savings, and economic empowerment among women health workers.

The FSLA approach fosters social solidarity and supports women to build financial resilience while contributing to their communities’ well-being.
