Session 4: Questions and Answers Facilitator’s Note: This step is designed to provide answers to the questions raised in the earlier workshops. You will have made a list of these issues and invited a local medical specialist to join you to respond to these issues. The questions and the dialogue provide a source of data, telling you how much people already know about these issues and the health system. Objectives: ●● ●● Respond to participants’ questions about health issues. Deepen participants’ knowledge about diseases, health issues and the health services available. Time: 60 minutes Materials: List of questions (raised in the workshops). Fact Sheets (Annex A). Preparation: Invite a local medical expert to join you. Give these questions in advance so she or he can come prepared to answer them. Steps: ➊ INTRODUCTION: Explain that the aim of the session is to answer participants’ questions on health issues and health services. Introduce the medical expert. ➋ PRESENTATION: The medical expert responds to each of the questions. Then invite other questions and ask him/her to respond. Note: The in<strong>for</strong>mation should include simple basic facts about the health problem, including prevention and treatment in<strong>for</strong>mation, e.g., Where can they go to get a pap smear test? If services are not available in government clinics, where else can one go to get this test? ➌ FACT SHEETS: Hand out the Fact Sheets (Annex A). Session 5: Evaluation, Follow up and Closing Facilitator’s Note: This session ends the joint workshop. Participants evaluate the workshop and develop plans <strong>for</strong> follow up, and then you thank them <strong>for</strong> their participation and time. Objectives: ●● ●● ●● Evaluate the workshop – what was learned, what worked, what didn’t work. Agree on how to share what was learned with other people. Agree on follow up. Time: 30 minutes Materials: ●● ●● ●● One marker pen <strong>for</strong> each participant A4 paper (three colors) Cards with titles – LEARNED, LIKED, DIDN’T LIKE 60 Chapter C: Facilitating <strong>Community</strong> Assessment Workshops
Steps: ➊ EVALUATION (5 minutes): Hand out to pairs of participants three slips of paper, each a different color. Ask participants to write: One thing they have LEARNED One thing they have LIKED One thing they have NOT LIKED Then tape these slips on a flipchart labeled with the three titles – LEARNED, LIKED, DIDN’T LIKE ➋ SHARING LEARNING (10 minutes): Ask each participant to say one thing they have learned that they would like to share with others. Keep a record. ➌ FOLLOW UP (5 minutes): Explain that a report will be produced on the whole process and sent to the community through the contact persons. Ask the MPs to explain how the in<strong>for</strong>mation collected might be used. They might say something like this: ●● ●● ●● ●● “We have learned a lot today and will take your concerns about women’s access to health care back to parliament where we will brief our colleagues.” “We have been inspired by your words and passion <strong>for</strong> change, and we will do our best to use your ideas to make new policies and improve health services.” “We have a number of constraints – it takes time to change laws, and practical implementation costs money.” “We have been inspired by HIV-positive women and other AIDS activists who are working on these issues and would like to continue to work with you to push <strong>for</strong> change.” ➍ MONITORING (5 minutes): Review the proposed actions agreed by the community (the things they have decided to do using their own resources). Then ask the group to decide on a small monitoring group (e.g. one person from each of the four stakeholder groups) who would meet once a month to review progress and report back to the community. ➎ CLOSING (5 minutes): Thank participants <strong>for</strong> their time and participation, and encourage them to put their ideas into action.
