This Study On Assessment Of Progress In Capacity Building Of HIV/AIDS Supply Chain Workforce In Nigeria Included Research Objectives, Questions, And Hypothesis. A Pre-Tested Self-Completion Structured Questionnaire Was Administered To Participants (422) With A Response Rate Of 396 (93.8%). The Reliability Statistics Showed The Questionnaire Is Less Reliable (Α = 0.237). Notable Progress Includes Donor Agencies Interventions Contributing Considerably To Capacity Building Of Government Personnel And Adequate Capacity At The National Level 396 (100.0), The Institutionalization Of Capacity Development At All Levels Through National Product Supply Chain Management Programme, Procurement And Supply Management Technical Working Groups, And Logistics Management Coordinating Unit 292 (73.7) And Demonstrable Capacity In Key Supply Chain Functions 259 (65.4). The Study Revealed Substantial Progress In Capacity Building Of The HIV/AIDS Supply Chain Workforce, Evident With The Institutionalization Of Capacity Building And Demonstrable Capacity In The Key Supply Chain Functions. More So, Master Trainers From The Government Are Not Always Part Of The Facilitators And Involved In Capacity Building, Needs Assessment Does Not Always Precede Capacity Building, The Inadequate Pool Of Master Trainers, Fellowship Training Program Is Not Recognized, And Pre-Service Training Has Not Been Institutionalized. Chi-Square Statistics Revealed That The Extent Of Progress In Capacity Building Is A Significant Factor Of HIV/AIDS Supply Chain Workforce Capacity (P<0.05). There Is A Need To Develop Manuals, Policies, And Procedures To Ensure Sustained Progress In Capacity Building, Needs Assessment Precedes Capacity Building, More Training Conducted To Ensure An Adequate Pool Of Master Trainers In The Public Sector And Their Participation In Future Capacity Building Interventions.

Background: Management of Family planning (FP) commodities is a significant problem that is not limited to compromising the quality of FP services but also results in economic burden especially in developing countries.  Some facilities may have ample FP commodities while others have a shortage if FP logistics are managed poorly. Hence, assessing the FP commodities logistic management is relevant to inform decision-makers. Methods: This survey was a cross-section study of 763 public primary and secondary healthcare facilities in Nigeria. The study involved facility assessment and quantitative interview of key personnel in each facility, using a structured questionnaire. The study was conducted from May to July 2019. The data collected were analysed with IBM-SPSS version 25.0. Descriptive statistics were performed, Chi-Square and linear logistics regression were used to establish significant associations; p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: About half (51.4%) of primary and 33.5% of secondary healthcare facilities were not using forms for reporting FP supplies. Also, 23.8% of primary and 18.8% of secondary facilities waited for more than two months before receiving orders. The facilities have an average of 2-3 trained personnel on FP services. FP staff who were trained had their last training over a year ago (primary-31.9%); secondary-37.4%). Secondary facilities were 2.102(95% CI:1.567–2.820) times more likely to use log forms, 1.845(95% CI: 1.076–3.165) times more likely to have cold chains, and 4.785(95% CI: 3.207–7.139) more likely to have trained staff on insertion and removal of implants than primary facilities (p<0.05). Conclusion: We advocate that the government and donor agencies carry out urgent interventions such as regular supply of contraceptives, regular training of FP service providers, provide sufficient manpower, carry out regular monitoring and evaluation of FP services and create awareness on the need to use FP services among grassroots citizens.

This study on appraisal of nature of capacity building programs of HIV/AIDS supply chain workforce in Nigeria involved cross-sectional observational design. A pre-tested self-completion structured questionnaire was administered to 422 participants drawn from HIV/AIDS supply chain workforce. The survey had a response rate of 396(93.8%). The reliability statistics showed the questionnaire is reliable for nature of capacity building programs, Cronbach alpha (α = 0.886). On-the-job training was the most predominant capacity building approach, while task shifting and fellowship program were the least used. The study revealed nature of capacity building of HIV/AIDS supply chain workforce comprised of on-the-job training, short courses, residential training, field-based, work-based, in-service, pre-service and e-learning trainings as leading strategies and excellent in strengthening HIV/AIDS supply chain workforce capacity, mean ± standard deviation score (3.774 ± 0.9882) on a Likert scale of 1-5 (5-point scale). Others included collaboration, university-based model, mentorship, task shifting and fellowship program. Inferential statistics revealed that Managers and Directors with postgraduate qualification have more benefit from the capacity building programs (p<0.05). Whilst age, sex and years of experience have no effect on the capacity building programs of HIV/AIDS supply chain workforce (p>0.05). Chi-square statistic revealed that nature of capacity building program is a significant factor of HIV/AIDS supply chain workforce capacity (p<0.05). Effective capacity building programs are central to the improvement of HIV/AIDS supply chain systems and responsiveness.

This paper describes the approach applied to the introduction of self-reliant internship into the in-service TVET (Technical Vocational Education and Training) teacher training at the Technical Teacher Training Institute (TTTI) in Afghanistan. As data show  in 2014, Afghan TVET teachers neither meet the legal requirements set by the government (Bachelor degree) nor have contacts to or work experiences in private or public sector companies. They have no knowledge of the working requirements they are preparing their students for. Consequently, in-service teacher training at the TTTI has to provide it’s learners with knowledge and skills in accordance with the market requirements. Thus, at the TTTI Capacity Building is focusing among others on the multifaceted interdependent relationship between teacher-student-company in order to empower teachers to be able to contribute to the employability of their students. In this respect TTTI’s in-service teacher training foresees the teacher’s participation in a private or public sector self-reliant internship to benefit from the expertise of companies’ work force and employers and actualize their understanding for the world of work. Afghan TVET teachers completing successful the TTTI in-service training are able to train many cohorts of students for the labor market or self-employment with the gained competences. Two subsequent cohorts of TTTI trainees - government employed TVET teachers undergoing in-service teacher training - have been participating for their first time in self-reliant internship in 2013 and 2014. According to the findings, recommendations are given for using the approach of introducing internship in in-service training for TVET teacher capacity building.
