Factors influencing performance of community-based health volunteers' activities in the Kassena-Nankana Districts of Northern Ghana.

The results suggest that higher educational status of health volunteers is more likely to increase their performance. In addition, providing non-monetary incentives and logistics such as bicycles, raincoats, torch lights and wellington boots will enhance the performance of health volunteers and also motivate them to continue to provide health services to their own people at the community level.
