Background
Save the Children with funding from GSK is currently building the capacity of fronline health workers (doctors, nurses/midwives and CHEWs) to deliver quality MNCH services through the health workers capcity building (HCB) project. The project aligns with the National Strategic Health development plan (2010 – 2016),  the Integrated Management of Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Strategy (IMNCH) 2013, and IMCI and ICCM guidelines and implementation strategies.

One of the training being delivered on this project is the On-the-job training (OJT) in Intergted Management of Common Childhod Illnesess (IMCI). Till date, the project has trained 515 health workers (doctors, nurses/midwives and CHEWs) in Kaduna state on IMCI using this approach.

The training methodology consisted of an intial visit to the selected health facilities by the trainer(s) to conduct a training needs assessment (TNA) on HWs involved in the case management of children presenting with any of the common childhood illnesses (Malaria, Pneumonia, Diarrhea and Measles). This was for the purpose of identifying gaps in the knowledge and skills of the HWs in the management of any of the aforementioned illnesess. The findings from the TNA were thereafter shared with the health workers and thereafter a training plan was developed in consultation with the HWs.

The trainer then visits the health facilities 3-5 times over a period of time to coach, mentor and train the HWs using the national IMCI guidelines and other relevant job aids. Importantly both the TNA and the actual training were conducted in the health facilities whilst the HWs were attending to patients. Within 6 weeks of completing the training, follow up visits were conducted to the health facilities to monitor the activities of the HWs as well as assess their performance. During the follow-up visits, trainer(s) got feedback from the HWs on their experience(s) since concluding the OJT.
