OUTCOMES AND CONCLUSIONS
Outcomes of the technical assistance can be identified at several different
levels.
6.1 Training for Promotion of Village Health and Sanitation
o The 70 participants in the workshops are now prepared to form or
revitalize village health committees in over 1,500 target villages in the
rural -iped water project areas over the next three years (12 to 25
villagus per field worker).
o The health education and sanitation promotion work of the field workers
and village health committees could reduce the incidence of disease among
750,000 people (average of 500 people per village).
0 The draft design will be the basis for training another 50 field workers
in 1984. The work of these new surveillance assistants with 15 village
health committees each may affect another 375,00 people by the end of
1985.
o The Health Assistants and Health Surveillance Assistants trained in these
workshops represent only a portion of those in the field throughout the
country. Some workshop ideas will be shared informally with colleagues at
home stations. In addition, the other field workers may begin to apply
pressure on personnel in the Ministry of Health for training to upgrade
their promotion skills.
o Participants in the workshop can readily identify needs they have for
additional training, are eager to attend follow-up workshops, and can
better utilize other learning sources.
6.2 Staff and Program Development
o The design, delivery, and training management skills of the Principal
Health Coordinator were developed further in the process of implementing
these workshops. Further, training needs for the project were more
sharply defined and a calendar of training activities tentatively
outlined for the next year.
o Twelve supervisory personnel in the Public Health Inspectorate learned
and practiced new training techniques. Several of these now have the
capacity for functioning as lead trainer in future workshops sponsored by
the Ministry of Health.
0 The field workers in the workshops not only gained new knowledge and
skills to apply in their home stations but an orientation to a new
