The purpose of this brief is to detail the process of scaling up community-based child and youth care workers (CYCW) in South Africa. Reasoning for scale up, proposed quality regulations, plans for supporting this group of CYCWs, lessons learned and recommendations for designing similar scale-ups are discussed in length in this document. This technical brief was developed using literature reviews, key informant interviews and focus group discussions with CYCWs. Steps for planning, developing and supporting the child and youth care workforce are laid out to assist countries interested in replicating a similar program.
