only one consultant) and by the Government of Malawi (to add a training
session for Malawian health personnel in training technology).
1.2 Order of Technical Direction Nimber 144
The request for technical assistance to USAID/Malawi was issued to the WASH
contractor on March 7, 1983 (see Appendix A). A single consultant was to
design and implement three two-week workshops for MOH field workers, prepare a
workshop design for, future use, and make recommendations for future MOH skill
training. The primary focus was the development of skills in communication and
motivating community participation in the resolution of village health
problems related to water and sanitation.
Prior to departure of the consultant to Malawi, the schedule for the workshops
was changed and the scope of work modified. A training oF trainers (TOT)
session was to be delivered first for MOH personnel who would assist in the
workshops for field workers. The primary purpose of this change was to develop
training skills of selected Malawian Government personnel and to use the
Malawians as co-trainers during the workshop. The workshops were also extended
to three weeks to accommodate additional content in communicable diseases and
sanitation technology. This change meant that the third workshop would be
delivered by MOH personnel after the departure of the consultant. A draft
design for the workshops would be developed rather than a full-scale trainers'
guide.
1.3 Terms of Reference
The Ministry of Health presented Terms of Reference for tne consultant's work
on arrival (see attachment to Appendix A). These terms were very similar to
what had been anticipated except for the addition of more topics to the
workshops for field workers, specifically documentation (recording and
reporting) and village sanitation inspection skills.
