Refresher Training for Frontline Health Workers in Expanded ... - RHO

Show the participants the immunization diploma and how it can be used by both
health workers and community health workers to encourage mothers to bring their
children for immunization and complete the series by one year of age. Note what has
already been discussed by the group and comment on anything new (10 min).
Tell participants to review: “Communication “Checklist” for Immunization” on Page 16
of Module 4.
Step 6: 45 minutes
1. Request participants listen while you read out “The story of Wubalem and Tigist”
(#1 Page 1 of Module 4). Then ask participants to take 1 minute and reflect
quietly on what they have just heard. Ask them what they heard happening in
the story and what they thought about it. (10min)
2. Request that participants divide into four groups. Give the situation cards (#2
Page 52 of this Facilitators guide) to each group. Ask participants to read the
questions and discuss it as a group.
3. Call the groups back to plenary and ask a reporter from each group to briefly
present the discussion. Each reporter begins by reading out to the plenary the
question their group was given. Take comments from all participants.
4. To conclude the session, ask participants: “After what we’ve just discussed, what
will you do when you go back to your woreda or health center about
communicating with mothers, understanding and engaging communities?” Reemphasize
role of HEP, CHPI, new kebele structures, etc….
