The system strengthening component of MAPS’ support is geared towards improving
capacity for malaria program management at the state and Local Government Area
levels. Setting the stage for this process involves State Executive Management
Orientation(SEMO) for senior state health executives, program management training to
enhance the capacities of heads of health facilities, Local Government Area Primary
Health Care(PHC) coordinators/medical officers of health and officers-in-charge(OICs) of
Primary Health Care(PHC) facilities. The aim is to build their capacity in program
management that will enable them to carry out their roles and responsibilities more
efficiently and effectively in resource and systems management, their roles and
responsibilities in malaria interventions, leadership and coordination of malaria programs.
To accomplish this, the Local Government Area Management Training (LGAMT) for batch
2 was held for OICs and malaria focal persons at Ebonyi Hotels, in Afikpo North LGA of
Ebonyi state on the 12th-14th September, 2012. To support the training activities, three
consultants including a coordinating consultant arrived Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi
state, on the 9th of September, 2012 to draw up a training plan for the program. The
preparatory meetings of 10th and 11th September were held in Abakaliki after which the
team of consultants moved to Ebonyi Hotels in Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi state on the
12th of September to deliver the training that ran from 12th-14th of September involving
thirty (30) participants. These participants were trained on general management,
integrated supportive supervision and on-the-job capacity building, planning and
budgeting and monitoring and evaluation. At the end of each session, the bridging of gap
between management theory and practice form was administered to all the participants
who attended the session
The adult learning participatory approach was used to expose all the participants to the
four program management modules that were contextual and interactive in nature. The
training was able to emphasize the importance of program management for OICs and
malaria focal persons towards achieving malaria control programs for a strengthened
health sector. There was enthusiasm and passion to learn among the participants.
In evaluating the training, 95% of participants rated the training as very good while 5% of
participants rated it as good, on the relevance of the training to their job, 85% of
participants described the training as very relevant to their schedules of duties as against

15% who rated the training as relevant to their work. On methodology used in delivering
the training modules, all the participants (100%) rated the approach as very satisfactory.
Ninety five(95%) percent of the participants were satisfied with everything that was done
during the training and did not have issues that needed to be addressed but 5% of the
participants said they would have loved the training to be a residential one for them
because of issue of going and coming from home to the training venue
On the whole, the training did meet its overall specific objectives.
3.1 Background and Introduction
Nigeria is committed to making progress towards the achievement of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). An effective malaria control Program is required for the
achievement of the targets related to child mortality, maternal mortality, and reducing the
burden of communicable diseases.
A rapid baseline capacity building needs assessment for malaria control at federal level
and in six Nigerian States (SuNMaP, 2008 & 2010) found a wide range of training
materials for malaria control; many of them neither targeted nor domiciled in NMCP. With
support from SuNMaP (another Malaria Control program supported by UK Aid/DfID), the
National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) has developed a harmonized capacity building
package for program management and service delivery. The package includes 14
modules developed through utilizing, re-aligning, re-working, and updating existing
materials and developing new ones where necessary. The Program Management
modules include:
- General Management
- Program Planning & Budgeting
- Integrated Supportive Supervision and
- On-the-Job capacity building and Monitoring and Evaluation
- Etc
USAID-funded Malaria Action Program for States (MAPS) is a 5 year project taking on
the USAID mandate of improving malaria control at scale in seven Nigerian States
(Benue, Cross-River, Ebonyi, Kogi, Nasarawa, Oyo and Zamfara). Health Partners
International (HPI) is part of a consortium led by FHI 360 implementing the MAPS

program on behalf of USAID. HPI is specifically responsible for the implementation of
improved capacity for malaria program management at the State and local government
levels. Treeshade Associates, Nigeria Ltd., a firm of Health and Social Development
Consultants is working with HPI during 2012 to provide technical assistance to the initial
roll-out of the Program Management Modules in the MAPS Project - supported States.
The overall objective of the assignment is to assist the six MAPS-supported States to
strengthen their capacity in the management of malaria control. More specifically, the key
activities include:
o Training plan development (undertaken separately by MAPS)
o National Training of Trainers
o 3-day state level orientation of health sector executives using the management
support modules
o State Training of Trainers (SToT)
o State level training of heads of health facilities, LGA PHC Coordinators/Medical
Officers of Health
. Training of officers in charge of PHC facilities
3.2 Objectives of the assignment
The specific objectives of the Management Capacity Building for Officers in Charge of
Primary Health Care facilities and LGA Malaria Focal Persons include to:
i. Initiate the process of enhancing their capacity to apply the basic elements of
management
ii. Share with them the basic elements of general management required to make the
provision of quality health services more efficient, effective, and sustainable
iii. Introduce the Integrated Supportive Supervisory system and the On-the-Job
Training process, highlighting the roles and responsibilities of Officers in Charge of
Primary Health Care facilities and LGA Malaria Focal Persons in operating the
system

iv. Discuss the structure, process and importance of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
and ways to improve the management of malaria specific data through the routine
Health Management Information System (HMIS) and other sources.
v. Identify proper planning and budgeting at LGA and health facility level as vital to the
achievement of national policies and strategies for malaria
vi. Discuss their roles and responsibilities in the development, implementation and
evaluation of State comprehensive operational plans and LGA action plans for
malaria control.
3.3 Approach and Methodology
The adult learning participatory approach was used to facilitate the sessions through
participation and experiential learning and sharing and this involved group activities in
executing tasks and plenary sessions presentations.
The training involved thirty (30) participants who are OICs in their health facilities and
whose categorization by rank is as follows:

3.4 Key Activities
Preparatory meeting
The two day preparatory meeting for the Local Government Area Management Training
(LGAMT) commenced on the 10th September, 2012 at the MAPS office, Abakaliki, with
the lead consultant coordinating the session .
The activities of the first day started with self-introduction followed by the development
of the preparatory meeting agenda (see annex 3). The terms of reference was clarified
by the lead Consultant (see annex 1).The activities and roles of the Consultants were
also clarified (see annex 9). The time table for the meeting was developed and roles
assigned (see annex 4). The opening session agenda (see annex 7) and the opening

session plan (see annex 8) were developed. The Consultants worked on the technical
session plans (see annex 9) after which the filling of the bridging the gap form between
management theory and practice was discussed and issues clarified on how to fill them
(see annex 11)
On the second day, 11th of September, 2012, all the materials and equipment requested
for were sighted, inspected and assembled ready for transportation to the venue of the
meeting in Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi state. This was followed by a discussion on the
format for report writing. The session plans were rehearsed and adjusted based on time
allotted for the sessions. The list of Participants was reviewed and allocated to four groups
(see annexes 5 and 6) and the lists were printed to be placed on each table to determine
seating arrangement.
The Consultants departed Abakaliki at about 3:00pm for Ebonyi Hotels, Afikpo North LGA
of Ebonyi state, which was the venue for the training.
On arrival, the hall was inspected and arranged. The activity strips were developed and
printed.
Opening Session
The opening session started a bit late due to late arrival of participants, however, the
session went as planned. The session started with an opening prayer that was said by
one of the participants and this was followed by self-introduction of all participants
including the facilitators. The objectives of the training were clarified by the lead facilitator
while logistics and administrative issues were also clarified by the MAPS officer in the
state.
Technical Sessions:
General Management Session
This session was facilitated by Dr Agbenin Andrew. In this module there were six
activities. The facilitation of the General Management module was guided by participatory
adult learning principles/experience sharing and respect for all opinions. The session
started with a brief introduction on why managers in the health sector need training on
General Management. This was followed by several activities/tasks, group work and
plenary presentations revolving on who a manager is, the activity profiling of managers,

definitions of key terminologies in management: resource, resource management and
systems
The general approach for the training was interactive and participatory and their
performances from group work were highly commendable and satisfactory. The group
activities were managed by respective team leaders, presenters and the notes takers.
These officers were usually changed after each activity.
The EURO concept and how it applies to various resources in the Health Sector was
introduced and participants demonstrated a high level of enthusiasm to use the
knowledge acquired for effective and efficient management of their resources. The
presentation of the EURO task was by Gallery involving all the groups or teams.
In other activities, participants were asked to share their understanding of the following terms:
delegation of authority, meetings, leadership, capacity building (not just training or workshop) and
report writing. Other activities included the description of the composition of their state malaria
control program, they were requested to list the roles and responsibilities of their state malaria
control program on flip chart and also list their own roles and responsibilities in their state and
LGA plans for malaria control.
The module remained the standard guide. Major teams’ activities were concluded with a short
Question and Answer session. This served to clarify views through guided reference to the
General Management Module.
The session was concluded with a task of bridging the gap (see annex 11). In general, the task
served to test their understanding of the module and sensitise them to applying the skills learned
from this training.
Issues in the management module: There is a need for more examples to illustrate the different
systems of the different resources and operational guidelines, rules and processes as indicated
in the EURO concept.
Planning and Budgeting Session
The program planning and budgeting session was facilitated by Mr. Nwazunku Augustine
Alugbala on Thursday September 13, 2012. It was guided by its module-specific session
plan based on the core “must know” contents of the module. The session therefore
provided opportunity for acquisition of in-depth knowledge on the essentials of planning
and budgeting process. Familiarity with the manual was repeatedly emphasized as intra

11
and post training reference. The facilitation occurred in two distinct sessions, namely,
planning and budgeting. Mrs. Nwani Chinyere, a colleague state based consultant and
the national consultant, Dr Agbenin Andrew embedded the two sessions. The sessions
which included group work were carried out as outlined in the session plan. Five nos.
group activities were used in the planning session and 6 for the budgeting session.
Session strips which outlined each group work were distributed to the participants for
easy reference. Where possible there were presentations of group work in plenary and
inputs obtained from participants to promote shared understanding of issues under
consideration. Interactive and participatory approach was employed to fully engage the
trainees during the sessions. Participants’ views and opinions were respected and
discussed based on the training objectives and the key module massages. Specifically
Individual reading of selected sections of training module and subsequent sharing of
individual understandings within groups; group reading of selected sections of training
module and group presentation of Group activity views/responses; gallery presentation,
role play and facilitator’s explanation in response to questions, concerns and issues from
participants were approaches employed during the sessions. Both sessions were very
informative and the participants appeared to grasp the concepts of ‘plan is essential for
informed action’ and ‘resource need list is helpful for prioritized allocation of scarce fund’.
Bridging the gap instrument was administered respectively at the end of planning and
budgeting sessions.
Many of the participants appeared to have attained a realization of the negative effects of
low opportunity for application of planning and budgeting process in their place of work.
Advocacy to policy makers towards improving participants’ involvement/inputs into the
planning and budgeting should be explored.
Integrated Supportive Supervision and On-the-Job Capacity Building (ISS/OJCB)
The ISS (Integrated Supportive Supervision) training commenced on the 13th of
September, 2012 after lunch and was concluded on the 14th of September, 2012 being
the next day before morning tea break with 90 % attendance and was facilitated by Nwani
Chinyere. To achieve effective participation, participants were divided into 4 groups and
each was asked to appoint a note taker, presenter and a leader.

through United States Agency for International Development
12
The adult learning principles approach was totally adapted and the learning strategy used
was mainly participatory. The session started with an energiser by one of the participants.
As an introduction, the specific objectives of the training on ISS were carefully outlined
and the reason why managers should be trained on ISS was clarified and an overview of
Integrated Supportive Supervision (ISS) and the current supervision process was
expressed. ISS was introduced extensively.
The participants were taken through the core elements of ISS, the 8 steps of establishing
the ISS system, how to compose the ISS team and the 11 steps to employ when thinking
of implementing ISS visit. To further deepen their understanding on the difference
between ISS (Integrated Supportive Supervision), the current Supervision, supportive
supervision and on – the – Job – Capacity Building (OJCB), I organised the four groups
to act a short drama within 2 minutes to illustrate the various descriptions. The participants
did it so well that they got the clear picture of what the session was about. I also showed
pictures of the reaction of workers to supervisors and supportive supervisors to them and
they applauded the supportive supervision and labelled it the best when compared with
the “old” supervision practice.
The participants were so excited with the new ISS system and showed keen interest and
participation. I also got eight (8) participants to take part in the activity explaining the 8
steps of establishing the ISS system. Also the participants presented on gallery the eleven
(11) steps of the ISS visit.
Also the participants got to acquire a clear understanding on what on – the – Job Capacity
Building entails and was able to see the difference between the structured and
unstructured OJCB.
At the end of the session, responses from the excited participants showed that they were
eager to immediately replace the “old” supervision with supportive supervision and on –
the – Job – Capacity Building. They are also anxiously expecting that Integrated
Supportive Supervision shall start up in the State and in their LGAs.
Generally the ISS module was extensively our guide throughout the session and
participants were intermittently referred to the modules for clarifications.
It was a great privilege and exposure using this new innovative adult learning approach
which is participatory to facilitate this level of training. The difference in this style was very
The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative
through United States Agency for International Development
13
massively beneficial as participants were able to demonstrate an in-depth understanding
of ISS generally and also as it relates to malaria control program.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E)
This session of the training took place on 14th of September, 2012 immediately after the
morning tea break and lasted for a total of 5 hours with about 100% attendance of
participants. For effectiveness, the participants were shared into four (4) groups with each
appointing a leader, a note taker and a presenter.
After these preliminary arrangements and emphasis on the strict observance of the
training ground rules; the technical session commenced using adult learning approach
and the learning strategy was mainly participatory. This session was facilitated by Mrs
Chinyere Nwani and supported by Dr Agbenin Andrew. Mrs Chinyere Nwani started the
session by telling the participants a short story about a woman whose daughter will be
getting married by December but doesn’t know how to cook Bitter leaf soup, how she set
out to achieve her set goal by giving her daughter money to go and buy ingredients from
the market, and then was always coming around as she was implementing the cooking
and then evaluated at the end by telling her the food was sweet. The specific objectives
of the training on monitoring and evaluation were carefully specified and few of the many
areas I internalized through active participation-group work, plenary and gallery
presentations were:
 Introduction to M & E Operational terms
 Malaria Specific Data
 Data collection/ tools
 Understanding Indicators
 Analysis, interpretation and use of data
The session was quite enterprising and interactive as there was maximum concentration
from the participants. I was challenged by the high level of concentration, participation,
intelligence and enthusiasm from the participants at every bit of the session.
At the end of the session, bridging the gap between management theory and practice
form for M&E was administered on the participants.

Module content issue: Issue in the monitoring and evaluation training module was the
omission of data management cycle in the trainee module and the inclusion of information
management cycle which was omitted in trainer module.
Process Evaluation:
At the end of every technical session, starting with General Management Module till the
last module, the facilitators usually held daily meetings in the evening of the training days
(12th-14th September, 2012) to review process by applying the concept of appreciative
inquiry and appraisal to detect strengths and weaknesses in the delivery of the module
and proffer suggestions for improvement in the next day tasks. This really guided us to
stay on track as outlined in’ how to train’ module and avoid didactic methodology.
Secondly, at the end of the training, the participants perception of the training was
evaluated using the standard evaluation format for the capacity building roll out and the
responses were collated and analysed.
3.5 Emerging Issues:
The EURO concept in the General Management module was strange to the participants
and it took the facilitator much time to explain this concept for their understanding
especially the examples of systems and organisational/operational guidelines. This could
be attributed to their level of education which was not so impressive as majority, if not all
of the participants, do not have a university level education but middle level tertiary
education
Secondly, distraction of the participants was evident in the course of the training as some
participants had to leave the venue of the workshop in the middle of their training for one
screening or the other taking place in their LGAs where their presence was sought. This
affected their understanding of some parts of the program management modules as some
of them had to abandon the training to attend to issues in their LGAs. Because of this,
some of the participants did not fill the bridging the gap forms as they were not around
during the administration of the forms.
Some participants wished they were accommodated for the training to save them from
the hassles of coming from their various LGAs every day for the 3-day training. They
The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative
through United States Agency for International Development
15
expressed dissatisfaction for the organizers for not making the training a residential one
for them.
3.6 Recommendations:
Training of this type should be made a residential one for the participants probably outside
their LGAs to create a conducive environment for learning and to avoid the type of
distraction that was observed during the training.
3.7 Conclusions:
The three-day training for officers-in-charge of primary health care facilities and malaria
focal persons for batch 2 did indeed meet all its specific objectives.
3.8 Next step:
The next step should be to put a system in place to track how well this line of managers
have been able to bridge the gap between management theory and practice in their
various health facilities having undergone this training and this will enable MAPS/USAID
to know whether or not these managers have learnt and unlearnt new management
practices.

Background/Introduction
Nigeria is committed to making progress towards the achievement of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). An effective malaria control Program is required for the

achievement of the targets related to child mortality, maternal mortality, and reducing the
burden of communicable diseases.
A rapid baseline capacity building needs assessment for malaria control at federal level
and in six Nigerian States (SuNMaP, 2008 & 2010) found a wide range of training
materials for malaria control; many of them neither targeted nor domiciled in NMCP. With
support from SuNMaP (another Malaria Control program supported by UK Aid/DfID), the
National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) has developed a harmonized capacity building
package for program management and service delivery. The package includes 14
modules developed through utilizing, re-aligning, re-working, and updating existing
materials and developing new ones where necessary. The Program Management
modules include:
- General Management
- Program Planning & Budgeting
- Integrated Supportive Supervision and
- On-the-Job capacity building and Monitoring and Evaluation
- Etc
USAID-funded Malaria Action Program for States (MAPS) is a 5 year project taking on
the USAID mandate of improving malaria control at scale in seven Nigerian States
(Benue, Cross-River, Ebonyi, Kogi, Nasarawa, Oyo and Zamfara). Health Partners
International (HPI) is part of a consortium led by FHI 360 implementing the MAPS
program on behalf of USAID. HPI is specifically responsible for the implementation of
improved capacity for malaria program management at the State and local government
levels. Treeshade Associates, Nigeria Ltd., a firm of Health and Social Development
Consultants is working with HPI during 2012 to provide technical assistance to the initial
roll-out of the Program Management Modules in the MAPS Project - supported States.
The overall objective of the assignment is to assist the six MAPS-supported States to
strengthen their capacity in the management of malaria control. More specifically, the key
activities include:
o Training plan development (undertaken separately by MAPS)
The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative

17
o National Training of Trainers
o 3-day state level orientation of health sector executives using the management
support modules
o State Training of Trainers (SToT)
o State level training of heads of health facilities, LGA PHC Coordinators/Medical
Officers of Health
o Training of officers in charge of PHC facilities
So far, in pursuance of the roll out of the Program Management Modules of the
Harmonized Training & Support Materials for Strengthening Capacity for Malaria Control
in the six USAID/MAPS - supported States, the Program have supported Benue, Cross-
River, Ebonyi, Nasarawa, Oyo and Zamfara States as follows:
1. Development of costed comprehensive training plans
2. National Training of Trainers (NToT) which took place from April 26 to May 2nd
2012.
3. 3-day State Level Orientation of Health Sector Executives using the Program
Management Modules.
4. State Training of Trainers (SToT)
5. 3-day State Level training of Heads of Hospitals and LGA Primary Health Care
Coordinators / Medical Officers of Health
Rationale
The system-strengthening component of MAPS’ support aims at improving capacity for
malaria program management at the State and LGA level (Intermediate Reporting area
(IR 4). Setting the stage for this process involves enhancing the capacities of heads of
health facilities, LGA PHC Coordinators/Medical Officers of Health and officers in charge
of PHC facilities to understand and carry out their roles and responsibilities more
efficiently and effectively in resource and systems management, oversight of malaria
interventions, leadership and coordination of malaria programs at the respective levels.

through United States Agency for International Development
18
In five out of the six States, national level trainers and a core team of State level facilitators
have begun to work together, using experiential / adult learning and sharing techniques
through in-depth training events, hands-on support and on the job capacity building to roll
out the management modules at State and LGA level. Very recently, Heads of Hospitals
and LGA Primary Health Care Coordinators / Medical Officers of Health have been
trained. The management capacity building process will now be extended to Officers in
Charge of Primary Health Care facilities and LGA Malaria Focal Persons.
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to provide technical assistance to conduct a 3-day
Management Capacity Building for Officers in Charge of Primary Health Care facilities
and LGA Malaria Focal Persons; being part of the roll out of the Program Management
Modules of the Harmonized Training & Support Materials for Strengthening Capacity for
Malaria Control in the six USAID/MAPS -supported States.
Specific objectives
The specific objectives of the Management Capacity Building for Officers in Charge of
Primary Health Care facilities and LGA Malaria Focal Persons include to:
vii. Initiate the process of enhancing their capacity to apply the basic elements of
management
viii. Share with them the basic elements of general management required to make the
provision of quality health services more efficient, effective, and sustainable
ix. Introduce the Integrated Supportive Supervisory system and the On-the-Job
Training process, highlighting the roles and responsibilities of Officers in Charge of
Primary Health Care facilities and LGA Malaria Focal Persons in operating the
system
x. Discuss the structure, process and importance of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
and ways to improve the management of malaria specific data through the routine
Health Management Information System (HMIS) and other sources.

xi. Identify proper planning and budgeting at LGA and health facility level as vital to the
achievement of national policies and strategies for malaria
xii. Discuss their roles and responsibilities in the development, implementation and
evaluation of State comprehensive operational plans and LGA action plans for
malaria control
Methodology
All the capacity building modules are designed to maximize adult learning through
participation and experiential learning and sharing. Didactic techniques must be kept at
the barest minimum. Each of the modules is designed to have both the trainer and trainee
versions, doubling as a training material and also as a guide to help managers in the
health sector to undertake specific tasks on their own. For example, the management
module addressing ISS/OJCB outlines in significant detail, how to set up an ISS/OJCB;
while the planning and budgeting module doubles a handbook for developing annual
operational and other plans.

Consultants and State level trainers per State
As much as possible, every opportunity to provide technical assistance (TA) to States,
SMCPs and LGAs is considered an opportunity for hands-on support and on the job
capacity building. Against this backdrop, TA activities are deliberately designed to
enhance stakeholder inclusion, participation, buy-in and ownership. Against this
backdrop, the Technical Support Team for each event will consist of one (1) national
consultant two (2) State level trainers. The skill mix of the three (3) technical support team
members will include General Management, Monitoring & Evaluation, Integrated
Supportive Supervision and Planning & Budgeting. The entire process will be coordinated
by one other national consultant.
Bridging the gap between management theory and practice
At the end of each module, participants are expected to identify issues/challenges in their
places of work and decide on specific action they will take to ensure improvement. The
table (attached below) will be used to facilitate the process.

  • 4. The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative through United States Agency for International Development 4 The system strengthening component of MAPS’ support is geared towards improving capacity for malaria program management at the state and Local Government Area levels. Setting the stage for this process involves State Executive Management Orientation(SEMO) for senior state health executives, program management training to enhance the capacities of heads of health facilities, Local Government Area Primary Health Care(PHC) coordinators/medical officers of health and officers-in-charge(OICs) of Primary Health Care(PHC) facilities. The aim is to build their capacity in program management that will enable them to carry out their roles and responsibilities more efficiently and effectively in resource and systems management, their roles and responsibilities in malaria interventions, leadership and coordination of malaria programs. To accomplish this, the Local Government Area Management Training (LGAMT) for batch 2 was held for OICs and malaria focal persons at Ebonyi Hotels, in Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi state on the 12th-14th September, 2012. To support the training activities, three consultants including a coordinating consultant arrived Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi state, on the 9th of September, 2012 to draw up a training plan for the program. The preparatory meetings of 10th and 11th September were held in Abakaliki after which the team of consultants moved to Ebonyi Hotels in Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi state on the 12th of September to deliver the training that ran from 12th-14th of September involving thirty (30) participants. These participants were trained on general management, integrated supportive supervision and on-the-job capacity building, planning and budgeting and monitoring and evaluation. At the end of each session, the bridging of gap between management theory and practice form was administered to all the participants who attended the session The adult learning participatory approach was used to expose all the participants to the four program management modules that were contextual and interactive in nature. The training was able to emphasize the importance of program management for OICs and malaria focal persons towards achieving malaria control programs for a strengthened health sector. There was enthusiasm and passion to learn among the participants. In evaluating the training, 95% of participants rated the training as very good while 5% of participants rated it as good, on the relevance of the training to their job, 85% of participants described the training as very relevant to their schedules of duties as against

Ninety five(95%) percent of the participants were satisfied with everything that was done during the training and did not have issues that needed to be addressed but 5% of the participants said they would have loved the training to be a residential one for them because of issue of going and coming from home to the training venue On the whole, the training did meet its overall specific objectives. 3.1 Background and Introduction Nigeria is committed to making progress towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). An effective malaria control Program is required for the achievement of the targets related to child mortality, maternal mortality, and reducing the burden of communicable diseases. A rapid baseline capacity building needs assessment for malaria control at federal level and in six Nigerian States (SuNMaP, 2008 & 2010) found a wide range of training materials for malaria control; many of them neither targeted nor domiciled in NMCP. With support from SuNMaP (another Malaria Control program supported by UK Aid/DfID), the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) has developed a harmonized capacity building package for program management and service delivery. The package includes 14 modules developed through utilizing, re-aligning, re-working, and updating existing materials and developing new ones where necessary. The Program Management modules include: - General Management - Program Planning & Budgeting - Integrated Supportive Supervision and - On-the-Job capacity building and Monitoring and Evaluation - Etc USAID-funded Malaria Action Program for States (MAPS) is a 5 year project taking on the USAID mandate of improving malaria control at scale in seven Nigerian States (Benue, Cross-River, Ebonyi, Kogi, Nasarawa, Oyo and Zamfara). Health Partners International (HPI) is part of a consortium led by FHI 360 implementing the MAPS

The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative through United States Agency for International Development 6 program on behalf of USAID. HPI is specifically responsible for the implementation of improved capacity for malaria program management at the State and local government levels. Treeshade Associates, Nigeria Ltd., a firm of Health and Social Development Consultants is working with HPI during 2012 to provide technical assistance to the initial roll-out of the Program Management Modules in the MAPS Project - supported States. The overall objective of the assignment is to assist the six MAPS-supported States to strengthen their capacity in the management of malaria control. More specifically, the key activities include: o Training plan development (undertaken separately by MAPS) o National Training of Trainers o 3-day state level orientation of health sector executives using the management support modules o State Training of Trainers (SToT) o State level training of heads of health facilities, LGA PHC Coordinators/Medical Officers of Health . Training of officers in charge of PHC facilities 3.2 Objectives of the assignment The specific objectives of the Management Capacity Building for Officers in Charge of Primary Health Care facilities and LGA Malaria Focal Persons include to: i. Initiate the process of enhancing their capacity to apply the basic elements of management ii. Share with them the basic elements of general management required to make the provision of quality health services more efficient, effective, and sustainable iii. Introduce the Integrated Supportive Supervisory system and the On-the-Job Training process, highlighting the roles and responsibilities of Officers in Charge of Primary Health Care facilities and LGA Malaria Focal Persons in operating the system

The activities of the first day started with self-introduction followed by the development of the preparatory meeting agenda (see annex 3). The terms of reference was clarified by the lead Consultant (see annex 1).The activities and roles of the Consultants were also clarified (see annex 9). The time table for the meeting was developed and roles assigned (see annex 4). The opening session agenda (see annex 7) and the opening
  • 9. The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative through United States Agency for International Development 9 session plan (see annex 8) were developed. The Consultants worked on the technical session plans (see annex 9) after which the filling of the bridging the gap form between management theory and practice was discussed and issues clarified on how to fill them (see annex 11) On the second day, 11th of September, 2012, all the materials and equipment requested for were sighted, inspected and assembled ready for transportation to the venue of the meeting in Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi state. This was followed by a discussion on the format for report writing. The session plans were rehearsed and adjusted based on time allotted for the sessions. The list of Participants was reviewed and allocated to four groups (see annexes 5 and 6) and the lists were printed to be placed on each table to determine seating arrangement. The Consultants departed Abakaliki at about 3:00pm for Ebonyi Hotels, Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi state, which was the venue for the training. On arrival, the hall was inspected and arranged. The activity strips were developed and printed. Opening Session The opening session started a bit late due to late arrival of participants, however, the session went as planned. The session started with an opening prayer that was said by one of the participants and this was followed by self-introduction of all participants including the facilitators. The objectives of the training were clarified by the lead facilitator while logistics and administrative issues were also clarified by the MAPS officer in the state. Technical Sessions: General Management Session This session was facilitated by Dr Agbenin Andrew. In this module there were six activities. The facilitation of the General Management module was guided by participatory adult learning principles/experience sharing and respect for all opinions. The session started with a brief introduction on why managers in the health sector need training on General Management. This was followed by several activities/tasks, group work and plenary presentations revolving on who a manager is, the activity profiling of managers,
  • 10. The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative through United States Agency for International Development 10 definitions of key terminologies in management: resource, resource management and systems The general approach for the training was interactive and participatory and their performances from group work were highly commendable and satisfactory. The group activities were managed by respective team leaders, presenters and the notes takers. These officers were usually changed after each activity. The EURO concept and how it applies to various resources in the Health Sector was introduced and participants demonstrated a high level of enthusiasm to use the knowledge acquired for effective and efficient management of their resources. The presentation of the EURO task was by Gallery involving all the groups or teams. In other activities, participants were asked to share their understanding of the following terms: delegation of authority, meetings, leadership, capacity building (not just training or workshop) and report writing. Other activities included the description of the composition of their state malaria control program, they were requested to list the roles and responsibilities of their state malaria control program on flip chart and also list their own roles and responsibilities in their state and LGA plans for malaria control. The module remained the standard guide. Major teams’ activities were concluded with a short Question and Answer session. This served to clarify views through guided reference to the General Management Module. The session was concluded with a task of bridging the gap (see annex 11). In general, the task served to test their understanding of the module and sensitise them to applying the skills learned from this training. Issues in the management module: There is a need for more examples to illustrate the different systems of the different resources and operational guidelines, rules and processes as indicated in the EURO concept. Planning and Budgeting Session The program planning and budgeting session was facilitated by Mr. Nwazunku Augustine Alugbala on Thursday September 13, 2012. It was guided by its module-specific session plan based on the core “must know” contents of the module. The session therefore provided opportunity for acquisition of in-depth knowledge on the essentials of planning and budgeting process. Familiarity with the manual was repeatedly emphasized as intra
  • 11. The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative through United States Agency for International Development 11 and post training reference. The facilitation occurred in two distinct sessions, namely, planning and budgeting. Mrs. Nwani Chinyere, a colleague state based consultant and the national consultant, Dr Agbenin Andrew embedded the two sessions. The sessions which included group work were carried out as outlined in the session plan. Five nos. group activities were used in the planning session and 6 for the budgeting session. Session strips which outlined each group work were distributed to the participants for easy reference. Where possible there were presentations of group work in plenary and inputs obtained from participants to promote shared understanding of issues under consideration. Interactive and participatory approach was employed to fully engage the trainees during the sessions. Participants’ views and opinions were respected and discussed based on the training objectives and the key module massages. Specifically Individual reading of selected sections of training module and subsequent sharing of individual understandings within groups; group reading of selected sections of training module and group presentation of Group activity views/responses; gallery presentation, role play and facilitator’s explanation in response to questions, concerns and issues from participants were approaches employed during the sessions. Both sessions were very informative and the participants appeared to grasp the concepts of ‘plan is essential for informed action’ and ‘resource need list is helpful for prioritized allocation of scarce fund’. Bridging the gap instrument was administered respectively at the end of planning and budgeting sessions. Many of the participants appeared to have attained a realization of the negative effects of low opportunity for application of planning and budgeting process in their place of work. Advocacy to policy makers towards improving participants’ involvement/inputs into the planning and budgeting should be explored. Integrated Supportive Supervision and On-the-Job Capacity Building (ISS/OJCB) The ISS (Integrated Supportive Supervision) training commenced on the 13th of September, 2012 after lunch and was concluded on the 14th of September, 2012 being the next day before morning tea break with 90 % attendance and was facilitated by Nwani Chinyere. To achieve effective participation, participants were divided into 4 groups and each was asked to appoint a note taker, presenter and a leader.
  • 12. The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative through United States Agency for International Development 12 The adult learning principles approach was totally adapted and the learning strategy used was mainly participatory. The session started with an energiser by one of the participants. As an introduction, the specific objectives of the training on ISS were carefully outlined and the reason why managers should be trained on ISS was clarified and an overview of Integrated Supportive Supervision (ISS) and the current supervision process was expressed. ISS was introduced extensively. The participants were taken through the core elements of ISS, the 8 steps of establishing the ISS system, how to compose the ISS team and the 11 steps to employ when thinking of implementing ISS visit. To further deepen their understanding on the difference between ISS (Integrated Supportive Supervision), the current Supervision, supportive supervision and on – the – Job – Capacity Building (OJCB), I organised the four groups to act a short drama within 2 minutes to illustrate the various descriptions. The participants did it so well that they got the clear picture of what the session was about. I also showed pictures of the reaction of workers to supervisors and supportive supervisors to them and they applauded the supportive supervision and labelled it the best when compared with the “old” supervision practice. The participants were so excited with the new ISS system and showed keen interest and participation. I also got eight (8) participants to take part in the activity explaining the 8 steps of establishing the ISS system. Also the participants presented on gallery the eleven (11) steps of the ISS visit. Also the participants got to acquire a clear understanding on what on – the – Job Capacity Building entails and was able to see the difference between the structured and unstructured OJCB. At the end of the session, responses from the excited participants showed that they were eager to immediately replace the “old” supervision with supportive supervision and on – the – Job – Capacity Building. They are also anxiously expecting that Integrated Supportive Supervision shall start up in the State and in their LGAs. Generally the ISS module was extensively our guide throughout the session and participants were intermittently referred to the modules for clarifications. It was a great privilege and exposure using this new innovative adult learning approach which is participatory to facilitate this level of training. The difference in this style was very
  • 13. The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative through United States Agency for International Development 13 massively beneficial as participants were able to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of ISS generally and also as it relates to malaria control program. Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) This session of the training took place on 14th of September, 2012 immediately after the morning tea break and lasted for a total of 5 hours with about 100% attendance of participants. For effectiveness, the participants were shared into four (4) groups with each appointing a leader, a note taker and a presenter. After these preliminary arrangements and emphasis on the strict observance of the training ground rules; the technical session commenced using adult learning approach and the learning strategy was mainly participatory. This session was facilitated by Mrs Chinyere Nwani and supported by Dr Agbenin Andrew. Mrs Chinyere Nwani started the session by telling the participants a short story about a woman whose daughter will be getting married by December but doesn’t know how to cook Bitter leaf soup, how she set out to achieve her set goal by giving her daughter money to go and buy ingredients from the market, and then was always coming around as she was implementing the cooking and then evaluated at the end by telling her the food was sweet. The specific objectives of the training on monitoring and evaluation were carefully specified and few of the many areas I internalized through active participation-group work, plenary and gallery presentations were:  Introduction to M & E Operational terms  Malaria Specific Data  Data collection/ tools  Understanding Indicators  Analysis, interpretation and use of data The session was quite enterprising and interactive as there was maximum concentration from the participants. I was challenged by the high level of concentration, participation, intelligence and enthusiasm from the participants at every bit of the session. At the end of the session, bridging the gap between management theory and practice form for M&E was administered on the participants.
  • 14. The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative through United States Agency for International Development 14 Module content issue: Issue in the monitoring and evaluation training module was the omission of data management cycle in the trainee module and the inclusion of information management cycle which was omitted in trainer module. Process Evaluation: At the end of every technical session, starting with General Management Module till the last module, the facilitators usually held daily meetings in the evening of the training days (12th-14th September, 2012) to review process by applying the concept of appreciative inquiry and appraisal to detect strengths and weaknesses in the delivery of the module and proffer suggestions for improvement in the next day tasks. This really guided us to stay on track as outlined in’ how to train’ module and avoid didactic methodology. Secondly, at the end of the training, the participants perception of the training was evaluated using the standard evaluation format for the capacity building roll out and the responses were collated and analysed. 3.5 Emerging Issues: The EURO concept in the General Management module was strange to the participants and it took the facilitator much time to explain this concept for their understanding especially the examples of systems and organisational/operational guidelines. This could be attributed to their level of education which was not so impressive as majority, if not all of the participants, do not have a university level education but middle level tertiary education Secondly, distraction of the participants was evident in the course of the training as some participants had to leave the venue of the workshop in the middle of their training for one screening or the other taking place in their LGAs where their presence was sought. This affected their understanding of some parts of the program management modules as some of them had to abandon the training to attend to issues in their LGAs. Because of this, some of the participants did not fill the bridging the gap forms as they were not around during the administration of the forms. Some participants wished they were accommodated for the training to save them from the hassles of coming from their various LGAs every day for the 3-day training. They
  • 15. The USAID-MAPS Project is A 5 year Integrated Malaria Control Program Funded by Presidential Malaria Initiative through United States Agency for International Development 15 expressed dissatisfaction for the organizers for not making the training a residential one for them. 3.6 Recommendations: Training of this type should be made a residential one for the participants probably outside their LGAs to create a conducive environment for learning and to avoid the type of distraction that was observed during the training. 3.7 Conclusions: The three-day training for officers-in-charge of primary health care facilities and malaria focal persons for batch 2 did indeed meet all its specific objectives. 3.8 Next step: The next step should be to put a system in place to track how well this line of managers have been able to bridge the gap between management theory and practice in their various health facilities having undergone this training and this will enable MAPS/USAID to know whether or not these managers have learnt and unlearnt new management practices.

Identify proper planning and budgeting at LGA and health facility level as vital to the achievement of national policies and strategies for malaria xii. Discuss their roles and responsibilities in the development, implementation and evaluation of State comprehensive operational plans and LGA action plans for malaria control Methodology All the capacity building modules are designed to maximize adult learning through participation and experiential learning and sharing. Didactic techniques must be kept at the barest minimum. Each of the modules is designed to have both the trainer and trainee versions, doubling as a training material and also as a guide to help managers in the health sector to undertake specific tasks on their own. For example, the management module addressing ISS/OJCB outlines in significant detail, how to set up an ISS/OJCB; while the planning and budgeting module doubles a handbook for developing annual operational and other plans. The 3-day (non-residential) training with be carried out in clusters of 30 participants. Each cluster will consist as follows: Category Number LGA malaria focal person 1 Officers – in charge of 29 Primary Health Care Facilities 29 TOTAL 30 Key activities will include: Preparatory meeting (2 days) Workshop (3 days) Report writing (1 day)
