The objective of conduting this task was to assess the first year’s HEW training program in terms of its inputs, processes and impact in order to recommend improvements for subsequent trainings. The issues that were assessed are recruitment process and outcomes, adequacy of the curriculum, quality of the training process, perception of trainees, trainers and other stakeholders and needs for continuing education. The lessons from this assessment can provide important information which can be used to develop and refine the program for future years. It is essential that a rigorous, professional assessment of the current program is undertaken in order to draw lessons for the future. More on: |
