Training and institutional support
In the beginning, training was part of institutional support
projects. Researchers were trained at Bamako’s Institut
national de recherche en santé publique (INRSP) in Mali,
and medical education training was given at the faculty of
health sciences of the Université du Bénin, in
Cotonou. This type of service became less and less popular
with financial backers.
The practical training provided today by the CCISD (most
often in the course of employment) is a key element in the
persistence of healthcare interventions. We must note
however that the CCISD is not a training center and is not
linked to any university. The training provided is
restricted to the Project teams.
-
thousands
of healthcare personnel and community workers have been
trained in syndromic control
-
this approach will be suggested to schools, faculties and
health institutes of the nine countries involved in the
West Africa AIDS Project
-
as part of the iESSP Project, hundreds of epidemiological
surveillance agents and aides have undergone
epidemiological surveillance training
-
close to 100 family planning agents have received training
in efficient project management processes
These learning programs have produced numerous documents and
pedagogical modules.
The CCISD can, at any given time, call on the support of its
pool of contacts and specialists to take part in the
planning and set up of professional training facilities.
