From the Introduction: "Programming for Training: A Resource Package for Trainers, Program Managers, and Supervisors of Reproductive Health and Family Planning Programs consists of essential information and tools for training health care providers in reproductive health and family planning (RH/FP). It draws on the training experience of the ACQUIRE Project, as well as that of EngenderHealth and other organizations providing training in RH/FP for improving service delivery.
The package is intended for use by: 1. Program managers and staff implementing RH/FP programs 2. Trainers in RH/FP service delivery
This resource package provides an overall approach to programming for training, as well as information, methods, and tools for designing, developing, planning, implementing, and evaluating training. It also provides tools and information for strengthening training systems."
Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the document includes the ACQUIRE training model and discusses the three primary training subsystems: pre-service education, in-service training, and continuing education, as well as "commonly used and useful training methods for RH/FP, including group-based training, structured on-the-job training, self-paced training, technology-assisted training, distance learning, blended learning, and whole-site training."
