Way forward
As a ministry we consider that Facilitation of Trainer of Training is the major problem across the country, Trainer of Training is providing differently across the nation, due to unapproved national Training Facilitation skills training package Considering this the FMoH has organized a national technical working group to adapt Jhpiego’s international Clinical Training Skills training package to the national standardized Training Facilitation skills training package in which all training provider institutions are expected to use while delivering trainers of trainer trainings for all inservice training courses.

APPROVAL STATEMENT OF THE MINISTRY
The Federal Ministry of health of Ethiopia has been working towards standardization and institutionalization of In-Service Trainings (IST) at national level. As part of this initiative the ministry developed a national in-service training directive and implementation guide to implement trainings in a well standardized manner. The directive requires all in-service training materials fulfill the standards set in the implementation Guide to ensure the quality of in-service training materials. Accordingly, the ministry reviews and approves existing training materials based on the IST standardization checklist annexed on the IST implementation guide. As per the national IST quality control process, this Training Facilitation Skills training package has been reviewed using a standard review checklist and approved by the ministry in February, 2018.

Introduction about the manual
The Federal Ministry of Health of Ethiopia has been working towards the standardization and institutionalization of in-service trainings given by the government and non-governmental institutions. This manual aims to develop standardized national training facilitation skill training package for healthcare workers that ensure the maintenance of the quality of trainings provided to the healthcare work force. Jhpiego’s Clinical Teaching skill package has been serving as a training material for training health workforce with the emphasis on clinical set up and specific to reproductive health. Although, the document was developed based on global experience, there is a need to sustain the IST program by nationalizing and standardizing the package so that it becomes a national IST guideline. The other reason to adopt Jhpiego’s training package is the previously existing training package manual is focused on clinical facilitation and specific to reproductive health thus to provide knowledge, skill and attitude towards training facilitation skill for healthcare providers for any type of training. Core competency This training package has the following core competencies
 Approaches to competency based training  Plan and manage training  effective facilitation skills  Use competency based assessment instruments correctly  Monitor and revise training This manual has five chapters  Chapter 1: Approach to training facilitation  Chapter 2: Planning for a Training  Chapter 3: Effective Facilitation Skills  Chapter 4: Using competency based assessment instruments  Chapter 5: Managing Training
