iCCM is an approach that promotes utilisation of Community Health Workers (CHWs) or designated Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) to take health services as close to the family as possible. iCCM strategy is implemented within existing community structures, which previously had been developed for other programmes such as malaria prevention and treatment for diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria, including prevention of malnutrition. It is well advanced and has attracted global commitment for increasing access to lifesaving interventions for sick under-five children in developing countries thereby reducing mortality.

The course is written for use by professional health workers and community health workers. The content for this course was adopted from the Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) Facilitator ‘s Handbooks (2018).
