An Evaluation of PMTCT and Infant Feeding Training in Seven Provinces of South Africa

Published by: 
Health Systems Trust
Capacity building for PMTCT and Infant Feeding in South Africa began in April 2001, soon after the start of the Pilot PMTCT Programme. A consultant was seconded from UNICEF to facilitate training of front-line health providers in the provinces, thereby developing a critical mass of Trainers using the selected training manual to address the key competencies of health providers with regard to PMTCT and IF. As the demand for training increased, and with limited capacity in most provinces to manage the process, a tender was issued by the National DOH and the CDC to support training efforts. A Consortium was awarded the tender in July 2002. The Consortium consists of the Health Systems Trust, Womens Health Project and the School of Public Health at the University of Western Cape. These organisations were appointed to co-ordinate and sustain the demand for training in seven provinces, which included conducting a rapid assessment of the training and a training needs assessment in each of the provinces, assisting provinces in developing a provincial training plan and evaluating the short term impact of the training.
