For example, a program manual may specify that the implementing organization is required to offer a specific type of training for implementers to deliver a multi-component clinical intervention to children.
In keeping with an emphasis on making the Framework practical and usable for experienced program evaluators, training program implementers and funders, additional evaluation planning tools were developed to accompany the Framework.
Rather, the Framework should guide training program implementers and others in thinking about available resources, existing data and the rationale for evaluating outcomes at particular points along the continuum.
(Assistant Nursing Manager, Central Hospital, Gauteng) Insufficient time was allocated for the training of the implementers at institution level, there was no reference made in the OSD policy to who would be trained on OSD implementation or the length of the training (23), so this aspect was neglected.
Following a 2-day national workshop in September 2011 for national immunization partners, project and local Ministry of Health MOHH) staff trained the community implementers in late 2011 in 7 pilot sucos (villages), which introduced the tool in early 2012.
The HSSMP development phase was characterized by three distinct features: 1. process orientation instead of a focus on quick results 2. an implementation framework developed concurrently for the training of the responsible implementers, to ensure capacity building for smooth implementation 3. active management of key donors and development partners through the HSSMP process.
All implementers receive training and instructions to implement the maintenance programme.
In this section, we examined the kinds of professional development and support that are offered to the instructors who use these rooms as well as why implementers offer training.
System maintenance and monitoring were considered important by most program implementers, although training was reported to be provided to both technicians and system users in a minority of cases and some program implementers expressed concerns over the timeliness of program monitoring and maintenance where this had been outsourced.
This minimized the amount of supervision from central level towards the sites, lead to inadequate recording of project activities and likely contributed to the observed insufficiency in training of beneficiaries and implementers (tituliares and/or PMTCT heads).
