Supportive supervision of close-to-community providers of health care: Findings from action research conducted in two counties in Kenya

There is limited evidence on the effect of training supervisors of this cadre in supportive supervision. Our study aimed to demonstrate the effects of a training intervention on the approach to and frequency of supervision of CTC providers of health care.
