This guidance is for facilitating a Village Development Committee forum focused on care groups, and guidance and an adaptable tool for Village Leaders to monitor and support care group quality. The aim of the prototype is to foster ownership and support for care groups among village leaders, to increase linkages between care groups and community governance structures and leaders, and to support community leaders in becoming accountability actors for care groups. The guide was designed for use by village leaders and care group promoters, and the adaptable monitoring tool was designed to be used by village leaders.
