The following tools are a set of session plans that provide information on how to conduct a three day Train the Trainers course. Each session plan has an outline of the methodologies and activities that can be used to help participants develop their confidence, knowledge and ability to run participative training events. The sessions themselves are participative so as to also practically demonstrate that it is possible to undertake training without the use of lots of PowerPoints and are based on the best principles of how adults learn best.

H17. Training manual on community based pre-referral treatment for severe malaria
Increasing children’s access to life-saving treatment for severe malaria and other common childhood illnesses requires community members who can identify danger signs and know how to respond, and CHVs who can provide pre- treatment. This manual builds on work from our previous programme in Zambia, More MAMaZ (2014-2016) see here, and applies the same approaches for our currently ongoing MAMaZ Against Malaria (MAM). To read more about MAM, please click here.
This training manual outlines a training approach that can be used to:
- Train selected Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) to diagnose and pre-treat severe malaria in young children using rectal artesunate (RAS)
- Train communities to respond promptly and appropriately to severe malaria, and to other common childhood illnesses
