Facilitators: individual

Individual and interpersonal-level factors that facilitate linkage between informal providers and the formal health system, such as high individual capacity to provide health services, positive personal attitudes toward linkage, communication styles, an individual’s experience with collaborating with formal providers, demographics like age or gender, existence of professional working relationships with other providers, or positions in social networks

Facilitators: organizational

Organizational and inter-organizational-level factors that facilitate linkage of informal providers into the formal, such as existence of regular meetings, availability of training, resources dedicated to strengthening linkages, formal structures for referral, data reporting, supportive supervision, and regulation

Facilitators: environmental

Environmental-level factors that facilitate linkage between informal providers and the formal health system, such as health policies that recognize informal providers, funders’ policies that recognize and include informal providers, societal norms and cultural practices that recognize informal providers

Constraints: individual

Individual and interpersonal-level factors that constrain linkage between informal providers and the formal health system, such as poor capacity to provide health services, negative personal attitudes toward linkage, communication styles, an individual’s lack of experience with collaborating with formal providers, demographics like age or gender, lack of professional working relationships with other providers, or positions in social networks.

Constraints: organizational

Organizational and inter-organizational-level factors that inhibit or could inhibit linkage of informal providers into the formal, such as absence of regular meetings, lack of training, resources not dedicated to strengthening linkages, lack of formal structures for referral, data reporting, supportive supervision, and regulation

Constraints: environmental

Environmental-level factors that constrain linkage between informal providers and the formal health system, such as health policies that do not recognize informal providers, funders’ policies that do not recognize or include informal providers, societal norms and cultural practices that do not recognize informal providers
