Description:

There is increasing consensus that training programmes should focus on know-how instead of know-all. IntraHealth International’s Learning for performance: a guide and toolkit for health worker training and education programs offers a step-by-step, customizable approach designed to develop the right skills linked to job responsibilities. Using Learning for Performance yields more efficient training that focuses on what is essential for health workers to do their jobs and on effective learning methods. This brief communication describes the Learning for Performance approach and initial findings from its application for pre-service education and in-service training in three countries: India, Mali and Bangladesh.
