Community Trainings
Participants that attended the Community Based Trainings (CBTs) were identified through the Community Based Organizations (CBOs) that implemented the project.. Each training session guided by a curriculum, was attended by an average of 20 – 30 participants to ensure critical discussions, full participation and involvement of each participant in the training.

A community based participatory training approach involving the use of role-plays, group discussions, presentations and general feedback from the participating audience was utilized.
