Kern's six-step framework guided curriculum development, the Delphi technique was used across four rounds to identify problems and eight key competencies, and Kirkpatrick's model structured evaluation.
Kern's six-step framework guided curriculum development, the Delphi technique was used across four rounds to identify problems and eight key competencies, and Kirkpatrick's model structured evaluation. Participants were predominantly male (61.2%) and post-graduates (78%). The authors reported a significant increase in participants' knowledge scores after all programs (P<0.0001), particularly in monitoring and evaluation, project/program planning, supply chain management, and quality management. Ninety percent submitted an action plan within one week after the program, and 64% implemented their action plans within six months. Limitations noted by the authors include a small number of participants within a particular geographical region, language barriers, dropout from long-term follow-up, and lack of measurement of motivation, long-term behavior change, or financial impact.
