description:

Earlier completion of training components would allow for follow up and reinforcement within the project timeframe. Training in Electrical Fire safety was only carried out in the third year of the 3-year implementation time-frame. This may have been because of the late delivery of the needs assessment, which ideally should have been completed in the first few months of the project. Given that 80% of fires are caused by electrical problems more emphasis should be given to this aspect (rather than structural safety).

context:

Needs assessments should be prioritized during project inception

success:

Training and capacity building is a fundamental component of the project which has been carried out not only through formal training but also through numerous workshops. Earlier training would have allowed for more opportunity to reinforce the training within the project time-frame.

challenges:

Difficulty in finding appropriate consultants to undertake training needs assessments and actual training can cause delays.

administrative_issues:

Consultants for needs assessments need to be identified early on and skills training specialists need to be involved in this as well as in planning the training and follow up/reinforcement.
