Views Outcome
We had a good time for learning at the workshop and at the same time a chance for WASH related program understanding and future planning. We are familiar with the field under diverse projects and programs experience implemented independently by NRSP or in partnership with donor agencies, but we hope with what we have learnt in this workshop will enable to do many things new for WASH project implementation. We learnt that how we can engage the communities in CLTS related activities. We appreciate the training methodologies, approach, subject matter command of resource persons, facilitation in a friendly & learning environment and commitment of facilitators. The training made us realized that once we develop the skill, attitude and confidence we will be good community organizers. Though we have varied working experience in development sector in NRSP and other organizations, but as trainees during this training for social organizers and project management team, our knowledge is further flourished and we are motivated to implement the project in a more professional manner. We the social organizers and project management team are sure that we can confidently engage the communities and take them along for achieving WASH project goals and expect the guidance of Plan-Pakistan in future through the expertise and experience of Plan trainers team.

1. Background Like other developing countries in the world, sanitation is one of the challenging issue in Pakistan equally faced by the rural and urban communities. Despite of the claims for development in health and environment sector about 52% of the total population in Pakistan is still lacking or not aware about basic sanitation principles, latrine use and benefits of latrine construction and thus find their way for defecation in the open areas. The issue is alarming and leading to heavy annual cost of health budget to control and treat water born diseases. Women and children are the major victims to suffer from water born diseases with high rates of mortalities and further drop of the poor rural communities below poverty line.
It is globally recognized that improving sanitation is the only way for achieving the health- related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of reducing child mortality and combating disease. A focus on appropriate outcome-oriented approaches to rural sanitation is critical, given that a majority of poor households continue to live in rural areas of Pakistan.
Conventional approaches in South Asia have attempted to tackle the issue of poor sanitation by trying to improve coverage and access with financial support for constructing toilets. However, for many years it has been evident that providing subsidies for construction of individual toilets alone does not necessarily translate into usage. Behavior change is a key ingredient for this to occur and promote sanitation and hygiene practices. Sanitation programs have, for some time now, incorporated the need to raise awareness and emphasize the benefits of toilet usage. Even the marketing of sanitation, in order to create individual demand (often combined with subsidies linked to toilet construction by households) has not necessarily resulted in significant progress in securing the desired outcomes from sanitation programs in the region.
It is in this background that the significant results demonstrated by a recent approach adopted in South Asia under WASH Result Programs and PATS approach in Pakistan has drawn attention. At the heart of this approach is a shift away from the provision of subsidy-led toilets for individual households and emphasizing not merely behavior change by individuals in general but of an entire collective, to achieve 'open defecation-free' villages. The objective is to reduce incidence of diseases related to poor sanitation and manage the public risks posed by the failure to safely confine the excreta of some individuals at the community level. This has been most effectively undertaken by empowered communities motivated to take collective action, with the government and other agencies performing at best a facilitating role. There is a growing recognition that this evolving approach, often referred to as Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), offers tremendous potential not only for achieving, but even for surpassing, the relevant MDG targets in Pakistan set for 2015.
Keeping in view the global concerns and solution measures for improving poor sanitation in Pakistan under WASH Result Program and PATS approach, National Rural Support Program (NRSP) in collaboration with Plan-Pakistan under financial assistance of DFID is implementing 9
South Asia WASH result program in Mardan and Swabi Districts in KP, RYK and Bahawalpur in Punjab and Gotki in Sindh. Primary goal of this program is achieving an open defecation free (ODF) environment through community sensitization, mobilization, behavior change which finally leads to community led total sanitation (CLTS) and sustainable output of sanitized environment, clean water and adaptation of community based hygiene practices. WASH result program also approach School Led Total Sanitation (SLTS) to involve school children and progressive teachers through formation of WASH clubs. The project emphasizes to mobilize the communities for construction and use of low cost latrines, hand washing, drinking clean water and avoid open defecation. The project is implemented in a socially organized manner involving the services of well trained community oriented social organizers and other technical human resource who will deliver the program message after their capacity building in WASH sector.
NRSP and Plan-Pakistan believe that technically sound and hardworking human resource is the key towards objective and result based WASH program in NRSP intervention areas.
The aim of this training will definitely reach to the objective of producing social organizers who will spend their energies and knowledge for achieving the output based objective of WASH Result Program in project implementation areas.
2. Reviewing Role model of Social Organizers As part of this capacity building training of the social organizers for WASH Result Program the Social organizer having the required characteristics and skills and the knowledge about the process and steps of community organization will be able to apply the same in different settings by appropriate roles. The different roles of a community organizer are discussed here. These roles are neither exhaustive nor mutually exclusive. 1. Communicator: The social organizer transfers or transmits information, thought, knowledge etc. to the members of the community. Sharing of information enables the community to be better prepared and empowered with information. 2. Enabler: The social organizer facilitates the process in the community for a change. He does not carry out any work by himself but he enables the community to do the work. The organizer gives importance to the process than the product. By the role of enabler the organizer would create independency among the people by which avoid the dependency syndrome. 3. Animator: In any process of community organization the organizer encourages, provides direction and guide lines to proceed in carrying out the different activities. As an animator the social organizer plays a vital role in eliciting the active participation of the people from planning till evaluation especially ensuring life in all the dealings of the issues and problems. 4. Guide: The Social organizer instead of doing anything on his own guides the members of the community in the process of community organization. The community organizer is not a person to shoulder the responsibility or solving problems of the people. Instead he has to make the people to respond for which the organizer provides the various avenues and shows different roots while dealing with the community problems. 10
5. Counselor: The social organizer understands the community and enables the community to understand itself. At the time of difficulty the individuals or the groups are given the required counseling to proceed in the correct direction. When people are in need there should be someone to listen to them. 6. Collaborator: The social organizer joins hands in performing his task with his colleagues with other like-minded people and organizations. Nowadays organizations approach a problem not with their personal capacity they also depend on the neighboring organization. Therefore the role of collaborator is very much needed for net working of similar and like-minded organizations and efforts for a common cause. 7. Consultant: The social organizer enjoys the confidence of the people and advises them in matters of vital interest. The community organizer becomes a person with lots of knowledge and information which is being shared with the people. As a consultant the community organizer makes himself available to the people who are in need. 8. Innovator: The social organizer innovates, performs, and improves the techniques, content in the process of community organization. This gives a lead to the people of the community and enables them to try out new ways and means to find solutions to the needs and problems. Social organizer is not a person to maintain the system that exists but he should be a person to introduced new ways and means to climb up the development ladder. 9. Model: The social organizer commands perfection as a community organizer and serves as a source of inspiration. The role of the organizer is to become an example while working with the people. By proper planning in approaching a problem and execution of the plan and documenting the whole process will be of greater help to others. The problem solving process becomes a model for others. 10. Motivator: The social organizer stimulates and sustains active interest among the people for reaching a solution to the needs and problems. The community organizer encourages the community to take up a minor task and complete it successfully which would enable the people to take up difficult task. 11. Catalyst: In the process of community organization the social organizer retains his identity at the same time enables the people to be empowered. The people gain accessibility and control over resources and acquire skills in decision making. As a catalyst the organizer is able to increase the response level of the people. The catalyst role further enables the people to become independent and become expert in responding to their own needs. 12. Advocate: The role of the advocate is to be a representative or persuade the members of the community and prepare them to be a representative as well as represent the issues to the concerned body to bring a solution to the unmet needs. The advocacy role is an important role in the present context. The community organizer in the role of an advocate represents the interests of the community to gain access or services or improve the quality of services which may be hampered by other forces. 13. Facilitator: The social organizer helps the community to articulate their needs, clarify and identify their problems, explore resolution strategies, select and apply intervention strategies, 11
and develop their capacities to deal with their own problems more effectively. A facilitator helps client systems alter their environment. 14. Mediator: The social organizer intervenes in disputes between parties to help them find compromises, reconcile differences, or reach mutually satisfying agreements. A mediator is involved in resolving disputes between members of the between the community and other persons or the broader environment. 15. Educator: The social organizer as educator conveys information to the community and the broader environment. Organizer provides information necessary for coping with problem situations, assists the community in practicing new behaviors or skills, and teaches through modeling. The community organizer provides information necessary for decision making. While working with the people of different background or from different geographical set up the different roles can be applied. All the roles need not be or cannot be applied in all the settings to all the problems. Therefore depending upon the situation and the needs and problems of the community appropriate role has to be applied.

4.2 The session plans
Session plans were developed for the various session of the training content. These plans provided the rationale and objectives of every topic of the workshop. Again, for every topic, the plan suggested the time, content, methodology and a summary of basic expectations. The plan of the session also provided time for evaluation and judgment of the participants.
4.3 Pre-training assessment
Before the training commenced, all participants were required to introduce, level fears and expectations and complete a Pre-training questionnaire (AppendixII). This sought to investigate the background of participants with regards to their educational levels, trainings component, their experiences of working with participatory methodologies especially CLTS and other WASH methodologies, terms, WASH concepts and an overview of their expectation from the workshop. This form of assessment gave a quick overview of the knowledge and experience levels of participants and helped the trainers re-confirm the training content. In addition, the trainers hold session to discuss the issues raised in the questionnaire in order to have a better communication and facilitation work and how the training shall help to enhance it.
4.4 General approach to training and contents delivery
The trainers generally adopted a participatory approach towards every aspect of the trainings. Decision-making on session times, house-keeping issues, training content, delivery style, participants level of input and practical activities, were done with participants. In delivering and processing the training content, the trainers used a variety of learner centered approaches including interactive presentations, discussions, demonstrations, group work, community stories and field activities. The medium of expression was basically the use of the Pushtoo, Urdu and English languages. However, to ensure that certain issues were properly clarified or expressed, local languages that the participants were familiar with were used for better understanding. Trainer presentations on the plenary were made using the Power Point computer application.
The interactive facilitation style ensured that all participants were actively involved in the various workshop sessions. Four main groups were formed for each round of training. These groups were formed along the districts represented. They conducted learning activities, developed and refined plans and strategies. Each participant was a part of at least one group. Participants group presentations were conducted using plenary and gallery styles through the use of Flip Charts. In many cases these were done in the session hall. 16
4.5 Validation of training activities
Validation activities were conducted on daily basis i.e. recap of previous day, minutes, group work and group views. Note takers in the groups were responsible to develop reports on daily activities and present them each morning as the activity before the next thought for the day had been shared. These daily discussions were collated and summarized and the key issues incorporated into this report. Reporting responsibility was assigned to the training coordinator. In addition to the daily reporting and discussion, all day sessions were recapped one by one by the trainees under facilitation of the trainers. Aside the comments, participants were offered the opportunity to express their views on the following contents on daily basis in the beginning as recap and at end as closing.
General Workshop Content Participants understanding of the topics discussed Participants understanding of the CLTS approach Participants ability to facilitate the CLTS Approach The input of participants The input of facilitator Workshop organization Meals provided
It was best understood by the facilitators that field activity exercise and its validation outcome would serve as a good basis to measure the training impact, once the field activities start.
4.6 Provision of handouts and other materials

5. KEY RESENTATION
During the five days training for SOs and project staff CLTS, PATS, SLTS and Hygiene related issues were fully highlighted, explained and discussed. These issues were presented and discussed under the themes of the above agenda contents. These sessions discussed the main emerging issues from each topic and global lesson learnt. The key issues covered during presentations were,
5.1 Knowledge development for effective CLTS facilitation
Topics on CLTS, SLTS, PATS, Hygiene and sanitation were thoroughly discussed. The outcomes and emerging issues discussed during the session are mentioned below.
5.2 Understanding participation and participatory methodologies related to CLTS/WASH
The purpose of this session was to put the workshop in the right context and the participants in the perspective for them to assimilate the key topics of the WASH and CLTS approach. The sessions introduced the concept of participation and assessed participants understanding and experience with participatory development. Participants shared how they have been involved in participatory development and related their experiences with the presentations that were made under this initial session. This introductory session and discussion formed a good basis for the introduction of the background of the concept of CLTS. Under this presentation, how CLTS emerged as an approach in tackling rural sanitation was presented and thoroughly discussed. The session also showed how CLTS was similar and also different from other participatory approaches used by the WASH Sector projects by UNICEF, WSP, PATS, USAID, and Plan- International. It also made clear how CLTS was initiated History of CLTS, Dr. Kamal Kar role, History and background of PATS and the methodology and then focused on the principles underpinning the approach and how it works and the concept and principles of triggering during WASH implementation projects.
5.3 The CLTS process tools and how to use them effectively
Participants were introduced to the standard and co-opted CLTS tools and how to use them effectively. The Tools, including the rapport building and ice breaking, participatory meeting, social mapping showing open defecation areas, walk of shame, flow diagram, diseases, and feces 22
calculation, calculation of medical expense, glass water demonstration, faeco-oral transmission routes and their Barriers were thoroughly discussed. The important thing here was to get participants to know the tools and be able to use them effectively. The presentations were clear in its purpose and followed a step by-step process in the display of how these tools work and a sequenced. Best understanding of the participants came after they applied the tools practically during two days of field exercises.
Participants learnt how these tools worked and how they fitted into the CLTS triggering analysis. It is noteworthy that not all the CLTS tools were discussed at this stage. Discussions on the tools for post-triggering were deferred to the final days following the logical arrangements of the themes. The concentration at this stage was presentations and discussions on the pre-triggering and triggering tools.
5.4 Important knowledge matters for CLTS
In order to disseminate the CLTS knowledge in a full swing the session identified the various knowledge areas that was important for CLTS related project staff particularly the SOs to be able to facilitate CLTS more effectively. All key knowledge areas were identified as important for participants if they are to facilitate the approach effectively. These are listed below: Fecal-oral transmission routes Local language for the village Social, environmental and health information for the village History of sanitation interventions for the village CLTS concept, how it is different than typical approaches, the Dos and Donts How to use CLTS tools Overcoming challenging scenarios Simple low-cost latrine models, for materials available in the community Experience level and strengths of team members to divide roles appropriately
5.5 CLTS participatory development
Generally participants previous understanding (according to the pre-training assessment) and appreciation of the concept of participation and participatory methodologies was optimum. In that light, these initial sessions came as critical first activities that put the participants in the right frame to understand the CLTS and other participatory approaches. Participants experience with participatory development was worthwhile. From the experiences that participants shared, it came to front that they believed in participation as an important concept in the development of their community, especially with regards to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). Participants experience-sharing also revealed that they had been practicing participation (involving communities) at various levels and in one way or the other. They understood participation and how it helps in WASH services delivery in their various districts. A few were of the opinion that involving people in their activities also has its own problems which they thought could be avoided by keeping them out of the process at this stage and use mind set next time.
23
5.6 Origins of CLTS and other WASH methodologies
The process of understanding the origins of CLTS and how it emerged revealed important lessons about participatory methodologies and how they linked up with one another. Video documentaries made the situation much clear. It became clear to participants that CLTS was similar to other approaches like PRA and actually found its root in them. They realized however that there were a few differences which bothered on the principles underpinning them, especially with regards to how CLTS concentrates on improving sanitation whilst PRA or others did not have any special focus.
Participants also learnt that the tools accompanying these methodologies were also similar with slight variations depending on the approach. Lessons were learnt, but most importantly, participants learnt that all participatory methodologies go with a body of tools, which give meaning to the methodology and make them functional. Without the tools, the methodologies do not work. This is so for CLTS too. Participants were of the opinion that how the tools work was not too difficult to understand. They however wondered how they would actually be able to practice them. There were fears raised by participant keeping in view the cultural norms and traditions of the area. Concerns were raised about how successful the previous methodologies have been in addressing their various focuses, the constraints raised were discussed and solution made.
PATS approaches to sanitation and obtaining MDGs by the year 2015 were fully described. Though these concerns were clarified, it seemed participants were poised on seeing the impact and successes of CLTS themselves in order to accept that the CLTS approach is not that much different from PRAs in other projects. Overall, participants learnt that gaining knowledge was critical for facilitators in their quest to facilitate CLTS effectively. The knowledge areas were extensive and varied as shown above. That notwithstanding, participants were of the opinion that acquiring this body of knowledge would not be difficult. It only needed commitments to learn and also to develop the culture of researching and reading. Under this theme, three main topics were thoroughly discussed. Summary of CLTS approach is given below To be able to help people understand and be motivated to act To engage and interface with communities without lecturing To be a clear, concise and engaging speaker. To be an attentive and observant listener. To engage in think and learn To be a good observer To analyse and respond quickly to modify facilitation Style to suit community participation and reactions. To build rapport and trust very quickly with the community To be creative, especially when challenged To be a good judge of people, so that the facilitator would be able to select community champions and natural leaders To be able to identify ignition moments during the CLTS triggering process Provide leadership to communities
24
5.7 Attitudes for CLTS Facilitation
Closely accompanying the skills for facilitating the CLTS approach is the issue of attitudes that are required for participants to be able to facilitate the approach. Just like the skills, this was also seen as crucial for participants. Here, participants shared their experiences on how their attitudes have affected their work with communities. Through the experience sharing, many issues came up and a list of critical attitudinal issues were drawn and seen as critical for participants. In effect, the following were seen as important as far as the attitudes of the participants on the field are concerned: Patience. The ability to be patient enough to let the community come to an understanding of the sanitation situation of their own. Confident and Courageous enough to push the community out of their comfort zone during the triggering especially to really trigger them at the ignition moment. Humble enough to let the community decide for themselves what to change, and how to do it Be able to provide Fun to keep everyone interested, and willing to participate To be a team player to work effectively with fellow facilitators Accommodative and adaptable to modify facilitation style on the spot To have a learning Spirit. Genuinely visit to learn from them
5.8 Lessons on skills for facilitating CLTS
Participants learnt that it was critical for the CLTS facilitator to be skillful to be successful in facilitating the approach. They came to the realization that over the years and with all the experiences that they have gathered over the years, they have not been able to build the requisite skills to be able to engage communities. Participants were aware that they needed all the skills to be able to ensure participation by all stakeholders and at the same time achieve their results. To some level, they knew they could ensure participation. At another level, they knew they could achieve their tasks by whatever means. But the ability to balance participation and tasks came forth as their main challenge. The realization was that over the years, they have always ensured that they achieved their tasks without paying heed to ensuring participation by all stakeholders. They knew they lacked the skills to do this effectively and this was important for facilitating the approach.
They also realize that they needed the requisite skills to be able to use the body of tools relevant for facilitating CLTS. They realized that acquiring the skills to sequence the tools was as important as having the skills to use them. This they found very challenging at the beginning but as the days rolled, they became comfortable. Here too the realization was that the tools were not too different from the body of tools involved in facilitating the PRA approach. Overall, participants were in agreement with the trainers that building the skills for the use and sequencing of the tools in CLTS would need some time and practice. But they envisaged that with they were well able to acquire the requisite skills for facilitating the approach with all the necessary things in place.
5.9 Lessons on attitudes for facilitating CLTS It came to the front that many things have to change about facilitators attitudes and behaviors. The areas are listed below: 25
Their view of community people: here, participants in engaging communities have constantly adopted the posture that Community members cannot think and member are ignorant of issues that are around them, and that they always have to teach them everything Community members cannot undertake simple activities during the analysis of their own sanitation situation. Therefore they have to do things for community people The way facilitators ask questions their body language when they are engaging community people. their patience in handling community responses The way they look down on community people, which is reflected in their response to invitations to meals and gifts from community members Their dress-code
Aside the things they realized they needed to change, the main lesson learnt was that, if participants dwell on the acquisition of knowledge and skill and de-emphasize the development of the right attitudes and behaviors, the facilitation of CLTS would fail.
5.10 Practical Sessions
Practical session under the training was centered on, In-house practice/ facilitation of the CLTS tools and methods Field practice/ facilitation of the tools and methods and Briefing exercises and drawing of lessons
5.11 In-house Practice/ Facilitation of the Tools/ Methods
The trainer offered the groups ample opportunity and time to practice the tools that they have learnt in the class sessions. This was intended to help the participants to practice and begin to get used to these tools in order to build the appropriate skills. Under a strict guidance of the trainers, every participant was offered the opportunity to undertake a practical activity at this level. No participants absented themselves from these exercises.
5.12 Field Practice/ Facilitation of the Tools/ Methods
Field sessions were organized for the two groups of trainees on day 3 rd and 4 th of the training. Respective villages in UC Toru and Bakhshali were visited (2 for the first group and 2 for the second) where the CLTS approach facilitated by trainee SOs and management staff the trainers facilitated the male and female groups respectively. The villages visited for application of triggering tools were,
26
Group 1: Village Bodal kalay UC Toru Day 3 rd of training Village Aziz Abad UC Fatma Day 4 th of training.
Group 2: Village Sheikh Abad UC Bakhshali Day 3 rd of training. Village Piraman UC Toru Day 4 th of training.
Participants had full sessions in preparations for the field exercises. Two teams were formed by each group and they were assigned their communities. The various facilitation roles were also assigned to members of the teams. These were done in such a manner that every member had something to do. In addition, the teams were guided to develop their strategy for facilitating the approach in their respective communities. They therefore firmed up their preparations by organizing their own materials. NRSP regional office played its part by organizing the communities and the requisite logistics for the fieldwork. The trainers also organized themselves in such a manner that they were always available to supervise each team whilst they conduct triggering moments in the selected communities.
5.13 Exercises and drawing of lessons
In the conduct of the practical sessions in the classroom situation and also in the communities, the trainers created the space for debriefing and drawing lessons. These activities took the form of flip chart presentations at plenary. This created the platform for open discussions on what went well and what needed to be improved with regards these practical sessions. Participants approached the conduct of the in-house practical sessions with all seriousness and this portrayed the fact that they were serious in developing their skills in the use of the process tools. These sessions were conducted in the training room. At the initial stages, and as was expected, participants fumbled in rolling out the tools. This was due to the normal initial tensions associated with being careful about not making mistakes. As the sessions were repeated, more mistakes and on-the spot corrections were made, participants polished their skills and built their confidence.
5.14 Lessons on the field and community practical sessions
The triggering exercises conducted in the selected communities showed different result. All the four possible ignition outcomes were realized in the field exercises: Matchbox in a Gas Station, where the whole community comes to the realization that they need to change their sanitation situation, Promising Flames, where majority of the community members wants to change their sanitation situation, Scattered Sparks, where a few community members want to change their sanitation situation, and Damp Matchbox, where the whole community is not 27
interested in changing their sanitation situation. It became real to participants that it was a fact that the triggering outcomes could be any of the four described above, as was reiterated in the training session. Another important situation was that though the issues that were raised in the classroom with regards to what to expect was real, the field situation was more challenging than they had expected. It became clear that facilitators needed to use their best judgment at all times.
5.15 Content for CLTS & Post-triggering follow-up activities
The trainers discussed in details what Post-triggering follow-up entails. The session stressed on the fact that post-triggering efforts were important in order
For communities to be empowered to solve their own sanitation problems To encourage communities to take their planned actions with regards to solving their own issues To enable communities analyse their strengths and weaknesses in solving their own problems and To create a sustained community-led behavior change arrangement in the community
With the above as a basis, the presentations (confirmed by experiences shared by participants) summarized the fact that post triggering efforts basically entails Setting total sanitation targets Using specific tools to achieve certain targets Selection, training and providing support for Natural Leaders and CRPs to augment scale-up of the approach
5.16 Tools for the conduct of CLTS Post-triggering efforts
The training team made a presentation of the tools and strategies for conducting post triggering activities and follow-up. It was made clear to participants that this strategies and tool package was based on a collation of actual workable tools and strategies used elsewhere and also tried during the pilot implementation of WASH projects in the world. These tools involve
The Establishment of Household Visit Plans, where facilitators would have to zone communities, form teams, determine the frequency of household visit and strategies for the negotiation of improved sanitation practices in the households.
The Establishment of Leadership Teams, where facilitators would form and support leadership teams (Natural Leaders and CRPs) at the various zones to take charge of the zonal sanitation issues, arrange and organize meeting to discuss and mobilize to achieve zonal sanitation targets and monitor households level of achievements on their doable actions. 28
The Establishment of Community Review Meetings, COs, VO SCs and LSOs will meet monthly to review progress of work, make presentations on their targets, old targets are reviewed and new ones set, review their operational strategies The Establishment of a Periodic Sanitation Clean-up Campaigns, where the facilitators would agree with the community on suitable periods for general clean-ups organize the use of social events during this activity and campaign during Global hand washing day 15 th October, world toilet day 19 th
November and world water day 22 nd March. 5.17 Community based action plans The trainers allotted ample time in planning to implement the approach in the various participating districts. The activities undertaken included: Planning for facilitating the approach in ONE community in the respective districts; and Planning for scaling-up the approach in the respective districts.
5.18 Inventory of training and facilitation materials provided
The five-day training workshop churned out materials that are important for the implementation of the CLTS approach. These included handouts developed from several training manuals and handbooks regarding the approach. Some of them were pre-determined and others developed during the training. Find below, an inventory of materials provided for participants. Training materials in the form of training package was also provided to individual trainee by the trainers.
Post training test was taken by the trainees with high scoring marks as compared to pre test. 29
6. CONCLUSION All Participants completed the Evaluation Forms. A careful study of these showed that they were very satisfied with the general outcomes of the workshop. They agreed that the objectives of the workshop and their expectations were largely met. They thought they had understood the workshop topics but with regards to the building of skills and effecting changes in some attitudes, they thought they needed a bit of time to affect these. They were happy the way the workshop was organized and run. They also felt their level of contribution largely contributed to the success of the training. That notwithstanding, they thought that there was still room for improvement. The trainers were of the opinion that the participants had the potential to contribute to scaling-up of the approach in the project areas of Districts Mardan and Swabi. Their contribution to the overall training was immense and their level of appreciation of the workshop issues was satisfactory. They came prepared to learn and did so. This energy needs to be channeled to the field. It is hoped that the above gains outlined would be enough to gather the needed momentum to push the implementation of the CLTS approach in the Districts of Mardan and Swabi and would ripple to affect the other district in the Region as a whole. This would contribute positively towards the national efforts and make the Approach nationally meaningful and a worthwhile venture for PATS objectives for obtaining the millennium development goals (MDGs) by the year 2015.
