Preface

The International Conference on Population and

Development (ICPD) held in Cairo in 1994 was the

historical landmark for the issues related to population

and development. Recently, the Millennium Development

Goals (MDGs) on eradicating extreme poverty, achieving

universal primary education, promoting gender equality,

empowering women, reducing child mortality, improving

maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, ensuring

environment sustainability and global partnership are the focus of the world at large.

“Partners in Population and Development (PPD)”, an inter-governmental alliance of

twenty four (24) developing countries, has been created to promote and improve

transfer of knowledge, experience and skills in population and reproductive health

through South-South cooperation. It has initiated various activities to develop and

strengthen networking through South-South initiatives.

This two-day workshop was one such activity of the Asian Region Network of the

Partner-Institutions of the PPD. Delegates from five member countries of this alliance

participated to strengthen the Asian Network and worked out an action plan for the

future activities. This report presents an overview of the programme and capacities of

Partner-Institutions of the PPD in the Asian Region concerning Institutionalization of

the Generic Modules (GMs), resource mobilization, capacity building through training

programmes and other cross-cutting issues faced by the Partner Institutions.

We hope that the report would serve as a guideline for Institutions, Countries and

policy makers for addressing various goals as set up in the ICPD and the MDGs.

Inaugural Programme

The workshop began with a formal welcome note by Prof. Deoki Nandan,

Director, National Institute of Health and Family Welfare. He welcomed Mr. Amit

Mohan Prasad, IAS, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Partner

Country Coordinator (PCC), PPD; Mr. Harry S. Jooseery, Executive Director, PPD, Dr. Jyoti

S. Singh, PPD Permanent Observer to the UN, Partners in Population and Development

(New York) and Dr. S.L. Rao, Consultant, PPD. He welcomed the delegates, other

distinguished guests, eminent personalities, faculty, staff and students of the Institute.

He informed the august house that 'Partners in Population and Development

(PPD)' is an intergovernmental alliance of twenty four (24) developing countries which

has been created to promote and improve transfer of knowledge, experience and skills

in population and reproductive health through South-South cooperation. PPD has

undertaken a number of studies, supported various capacity development activities,

organized several policy dialogues on ICPD and MDGs, and has promoted exchange of

information and experience among its Member Countries (MCs) over the last several

years. He hoped that the deliberations on various issues related to population

development will go a long way in strengthening the Asian Region Network.

He requested the delegates to consider the following points for discussion

during the two-day workshop:

1. Monitoring of Millennium Development Goals in the Asian Region,

2. Networking of agencies in developing and developed countries around the

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

PPD, in his presidential address, welcomed the

delegates of the Asian Region Network and

extended his sincere thanks and gratitude to the

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,

Government of India; and Prof. Deoki Nandan,

Director, NIHFW, for facilitating this effort in

India. He also extended his gratitude to the

United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for their support for South-South

Collaboration.

thMr. Harry began recollecting that this month is the 15 anniversary of ICPD

along with PPD. Today, PPD alliance is reaching out to 57% of the world's population to

join this network. He welcomed all strategic partners. He added that the motivating thforces behind PPD are the ICPD and MDGs. On the occasion of 15 year of ICPD,

tremendous success in the field of reproductive health has been achieved. There is a

paradigm shift in government programmes and polices from family planning to

reproductive health to achieve the set goals. Life expectancy around the world has been

increased; though maternal mortality rate and infant mortality rate have on the decline

still, today, 500,000 maternal deaths per day are being reported globally. There is a

need to form a basis for agenda for health system reform and especially for the family

planning to retain its importance in that aspect.

He said that the new emerging challenges like malnutrition, old age, poverty,

migration, environmental degradation, gender are such issues that require skill based

knowledge. South-South Cooperation will help in enhancing these skills for welfare on

two levels- one at the individual level and another at the system level. He encouraged

the partners to move the process of research, training, teaching, networking and

coordination among themselves. This requires identification of material required, list of

resource persons, research, best practices in health and gender. He concluded by saying

that all these issues such as, analyzing capacity building programme, innovations, ideas

to move forward in future for MDGs are related to each one of the partners. He

extended his wishes to the partners for fruitful deliberations in the workshop.

In his inaugural address, Dr. Amit

Mohan Prasad expressed his immense

pleasure to be among the participants for a

noble cause. He said that reproductive health,

population development, gender issues, and

mother and child health are some of the areas

where developing countries share a common

Mr. Harry S. Jooseery, Executive Director,

11


burden. He mentioned that most of the professional institutions coming together to

discuss these issues in the workshop is a welcome step. He extended his thanks to Prof.

Deoki Nandan for his hospitality and to the UNFPA for supporting and organizing this

event.

Stressing on the need to learn from each other through the PPD platform, Dr.

Prasad asked the developing countries to find out technological and low cost solutions to

tackle increased maternal and child mortality. He highlighted two major successful

programmes running in India. One Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) which is a demand

generation scheme for safe motherhood for the last 4 years. It is a popular programme

for providing the pregnant women, safe and skilled institutional deliveries. He explained

how the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and a strengthened health system in

India have managed to increase the demand of health facilities. He reported that

approximately 0.73 million women benefited in the first year (2005-06) which has

jumped to 8.4 million in 2007-08.

thMr. Amit Mohan Prasad informed that on 15 of September 2009, the Union

Minister of Health, Government of India, Mr. Gulam Nabi Azad, launched a National

Programme in Jaipur on neonatal mortality called Nav Jodh Shishu Suraksha Yojna. This

programme was pilot tested by NIHFW in the month of June. He referred that the

participants would learn from the best practices and experiences and adapts to

implement these in their respective countries. The idea will work but need to adopt in

social circumstances considering social and cultural belief. What we need to do is to find

solutions under the given circumstances. He extended his thanks to the NIHFW for being

the lead institution for PPD and added that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is

always ready for such good initiatives to share knowledge experiences and the best

practices. He wished the delegates a fruitful discussion on PPD Generic Modules (GM).

Prof. M. Bhattacharya

thanked the dignitaries for sharing their

valuable expertise and time. She

extended her thanks to Mr. Amit Mohan

Prasad for his initiatives and support

from Government of India. She

expressed her gratitude to Dr. Harry

Jooseery for being the guide and source

of encouragement for the institute and

the participants from the Asian

Region.Special thanks were proposed to the guests from the International Agencies.

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

Technical Sessions

Dr. Rao began his presentation by documenting the process followed by the PPD in formulating the four generic modules and in helping to institutionalize the modules within Partners Institutions (PIs), with appropriate adaptation and modification by the PIs themselves. Giving the background, he mentioned that the PPD has formulated and developed a Strategic Business Plan (SBP) for 2008-2011. One of the six important goals of the SBP is the enhancement of the capacity of its Member Countries (MCs) to enable them to address more effectively, the ICPD goals and the MDGs. To help achieve the goals of capacity development of MCs, the PPD strongly believes that implementation of these modules and related training and other support activities is essential to build capacity of regional professionals at the PIs is crucial.

Dr. Rao highlighted that PPD generic modules are a response to the felt need of priority substantive gaps in population, poverty, gender, and reproductive health, as identified by international experts of Africa, Asia, Arab and other regions. The various steps taken by the PPD to formulate them include 'needs assessment', 'capacity assessment', 'gaps assessment', strategies to address those needs, gaps, capacity inadequacies, as well as action plans to implement the strategies. For undertaking these assessments during 2007, PPD has used the following instruments:

?An inquiry among its PPD member countries to document capacity development

needs and priorities of individual PPD countries, as well as potential capacities in

individual PPD countries to help build capacities in other developing countries. It

has also identified training needs in a number of specified technical, managerial

and programmatic areas, all relevant to implementing the ICPD Programme of

Action and achieving the MDGs;

?A second inquiry among the PPD Country Coordinator Units (PCCs) in Member

Countries, to elicit information on the Unit's staff needs for capacity building, as

well as on requirements for strengthening the institutional capabilities of those

units in coordinating South-South activities to help achieve the ICPD goals and

MDGs;

15


?A third inquiry among selected Partner Institutions (PIs), to review the current

training and research activities at those Institutions in the context of helping to

achieve the MDGs and the ICPD goals. This will also assess the current and

potential capabilities of those Institutions to build capacities of other

developing countries;

?A set of regional overviews of priority issues and strategies needed to meet MDGs

and ICPD goals in Africa, Asia and the Arab region by regional experts; and

?A qualitative assessment of human resources capabilities and related issues of

PPD Secretariat staff with a standardized instrument and through direct

interviews.

Based on the analysis of findings from these instruments, the PPD organized

several following Consultative Meetings on training and Capacity Development during

2007 and 2008.

As an outcome of each of these various Consultative Meetings, the PPD has

produced the following outputs related to training and capacity development:

?PPD Report of the Consultative Meeting of Experts on Capacity Development,

Taicang, China, 10-15 May 2007 (Dhaka, PPD, 2007).

?PPD Partner Institutions: An Overview of Programmes and Capacities (Dhaka,

PPD, 2007).

?PPD Capacity Building in the Context of Achieving ICPD Goals and MDGs (Dhaka,

PPD, 2007), A compilation of modules.

?PPD Capacity Development Action Plan, 2008-2011 (Dhaka, PPD, 2008).

?PPD Capabilities and Capacity Needs of PPD Member Countries (Dhaka, PPD,

2008).

He highlighted the progress on Training and Capacity Development Efforts of

PPD during 2007-2009, such as identifying the training needs in population, poverty,

gender and reproductive health in PPD countries by geographic sub-regions of

Anglophone Africa, Francophone Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Arabic-speaking

countries, especially through the four regional overviews. It has documented various

kinds of training courses in population, poverty, gender and reproductive health that are

currently in operation in seventeen Partner Training Institutions of PPD countries.

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

17

In line with the recommendations of July 2008 Meeting and in accordance with

the plan for institutionalization and networking among the PIs, the following actions

have been taken:

? Three Lead Institutions, Centre for African Family Studies (CAFS) in Kenya for

Anglophone Africa; Institut National D'Administration Sanitaire (INAS) in

Morocco for Francophone Africa and National Institute of Health and Family

Welfare in India for Asian region have been identified for spearheading the

efforts within their respective regions for networking among PIs and for

institutionalization of generic modules.

? PPD has formulated a set of guidelines related to hardware, software, internet

and other web-based electronic platform to facilitate an easy interaction

among the PIs, particularly for an exchange of information and experiences

through Microsoft Share Point, Yahoo Groups and Google Groups.

The Lead Institutions have been provided with TORs and some support to

organize regional Cluster Meetings of constituent PIs to develop a work plan for

implementation. He emphasized that this meeting at New Delhi is the meeting for the

Asian Region Network.

He concluded his presentation by emphasizing the following points for

consideration and deliberations by all PIs:

? What is the current situation of institutionalization of the four generic modules

at the PIs of the Asia Region?

? What are the priority concerns still withholding rapid progresses on each

module?

? What could be done by the PIs themselves to address these concerns? and

? What should be done by the PPD and the international community to further

foster the process of institutionalization of the four generic modules by the

Asia Network Region?

He requested the representatives of the Asian PIs to report on the progress

thus far, as well as to address some of the unresolved issues in their presentations.


Session : PPD Generic Modules: Features and ChallengesDr. Nazrul Islam, Programme Officer, Partners in

Population and Development (PPD)

Mr. Islam shared the progress in Networking and Sub-regional Initiatives undertaken for South-South Cooperat ion (SSC) . He mentioned some of the Initiatives from the Africa Anglophone (Kenya, Egypt and Uganda) as given below:

• Networking with PPD Africa

Regional Office,

• Partnering with countries where sub-regional Partner Institutions are not

present (Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Zimbabwe and eventually

Tanzania),

• Mobilizing representatives from those countries during regional meetings,

conferences, etc,

• Exchanging information, teaching materials, expertise and faculty,

• Conducting joint research, disseminating findings and advocacy ,

• Developing joint training materials and case studies,

• Sharing advocacy materials and available case studies in the field of

Reproductive Health and Population and

• Producing concept and scholar papers.

Following Initiatives from the Africa Francophone (Morocco, Tunisia and

Senegal) have been undertaken:

• Developing joint training programme and joint research on Reproductive

Health and Gender,

• Developing a common course on Management of Health System and

Reproductive Health programmes,

• Sharing of training material, experiences and exchange of faculty, and

• Developing joint advocacy initiatives for mobilizing resource.

18

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

He mentioned that the Asian Region Network consists of the following institutions:

1. National Institute of Health and Family Welfare (NIHFW), India;

2. Indian Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR), India;

3. International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), India;

4. Nanjing Population Program Training Center International (NITC), China;

5. China Center for RH Technical Instruction and Training (CCRHTIT), China;

6. China Training Center (CTC), China;

7. College of Population Studies (CPS), Thailand;

8. Institution of Child and Mother Health (ICMH), Bangladesh; and

9. BKKBN Research and Development Center, Indonesia.

He hoped that the deliberations in the following sessions of the workshop

would provide an insight into the progress made by PIs in the Asian Region.

Following the two presentations, Prof. L.M. Nath, in Chair, highlighted the

importance of population and demography in contemporary times in the Asian Region.

He mentioned that reproductive health, gender, poverty and other cross-cutting issues

are causes of concern at the global level. He opened the session for discussion. He

invited Dr. Jyoti Singh and Dr. S.L. Rao, Consultant, PPD; to share their expertise on the

issues being discussed in the house.

Dr. Rao commented that India should look out for all four components. Partner

Institutions are required to decide the length of the courses and capacity needs.

National institutions should understand the need for strengthening detailed

information carried out in the training. He commented that GMs are not ideal but at the

same time, they require to be adapted according to the country's social profile

19


Dr. Shahnawaz enquired about the networking and collaborations taken place

for the last one year. Dr. Jyoti Singh replied that during experience sharing, we would be

able to know what has been achieved. Dr. Jyoti Singh asked the PPD about the follow-up

after inquiry done by the PPD, going beyond 17 institutions and find out the gaps in

between. In terms of role of institutions, what efforts have been made for the

involvement of other organizations to fill these gaps. He further added what PPD has

done on networking, especially in relation to the website launched. He emphasized on

the need to know the practical level of expenditure by the PIs and upcoming materials.

Dr. S. D. Gupta, Director, Indian Institute of Health Management Research

(IIHMR) enquired about the practical testing of the generic modules. He asked whether

pilot testing has been done or not.

Prof. Nath observed that an analysis or social audit of the content of the GMs can

be undertaken especially with reference to how they fit in the societal goals and the best

societal perception.

Dr. Ram Faujdar, Director and Senior Professor, International Institute for

Population Sciences (IIPS) said that these generic modules have all the issues spread

over in the eight papers at post graduation level. Being a technical institution, the

concern of IIPS is to find out how do the indicators can be tracked to MDGs? IIPS is trying

to estimate different MDGs at the district level.

Dr. Stephen Kwankye's concern was that what would be the level of people to

whom they would train and also the feasibility of these modules in all the regions was

questionable.

Prof. Nath responded that the process should not stop after adaptation of these

modules. The countries can infuse some elements of the modules in their courses.

Within the part of network, institutions could take one particular module and see what

can be done in their institutions considering the practical issues. The discussion

revealed that gender module are being used whereas poverty modules are not really

touched upon. So, within the regional network, we can take the responsibility.

Dr. Harry Jooseery, emphasized on the fact that there is a need to work on micro

level as we have the strength of 17 national level institutions representing different

countries. We need to have our own agenda along with the PPD and ICPD goals.

Whatever one will do, it should match with the global agenda. He mentioned that one

cannot change the world but at our own levels, we can try to set conditions to engage

the institutions to meet the global agenda. Hence, certain things can be changed. GMs

are not the standard modules they are to be adapted by the countries so as to meet the

needs of the national agenda.

20

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

Prof. Nath concluded by saying that all the PIs are well established in teaching,

training and research. The idea here is to make them better on the national agenda. It is

not about starting new courses but to look at the elements in modules which can be

incorporated in individual training programmes and then identify which elements are

not utilized fully by the participants.

Dr. Dwi stated that as a member of PPD, Indonesia is responsible to institutionalize the Generic Modules after the follow up of the Consultative Meeting in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in July 2008

She mentioned the following three objectives:

?To identify the progress that has been made by BKKBN for

adapting and integrating the GM,

?To evaluate the progress and challenges in the integration of the GM into the

existing BKKBN training programmes and

?BKKBN Plan of Action for year 2010 to support the institutionalization of the

GM.

She mentioned that the Generic Modules have been translated into Indonesian

language. Dissemination of the Indonesian version of GM to 5 provinces (East Java,

West Java, Yogyakarta, West Nusa Tenggara and Bali) hosting BKKBN international

training programmes has been completed. The follow up action of the dissemination

includes:

?BKKBN's International Training Center and Gender Training Centre are

responsible for searching all reading materials (references) to back up the needs

of training programmes,

?East Java Province of FP Training and Development Center is responsible for

developing the modules into course outlines and training strategies,

?5 other provincial Training Centres have to socialize the generic modules to their

family planning policy makers in their respective provinces,

?East Java Province FP Training and Development Centre develops and modifies

specific training/workshop design based on GM (for example, 5 days training of

Population and Poverty for Chief/Official of Regency FP and RH Organization)

and

?Trial of the training/workshop design was held in April 2009, which was attended

by two groups with 80 participants.

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

She shared the Plan of Action for the year 2010 which comprises of:

?Arrangement of other training designs and curriculum for various target groups

(training participants),

?Dissemination of the GM to other 4 provinces ( West Sumatera, Central Java,

South Kalimantan and South Sulawesi) and

?Arrangement and curriculum development for population, FP/RH, family

welfare and gender based on the GM for nationwide uses.

Sharing some of the challenges, she stated that it is difficult to collect the original

reading materials (as given in the GM). Further, less than 10 % of the trainers are

compatible with English language reading materials. So, these materials have to be

translated into Indonesian language. GM has to be adapted based on type of training,

participant training goals (expected level of knowledge and skill), training duration, etc.

Prof. Siriwan gave a brief introduction about the College of Population Studies (CPS). She mentioned that the CPS was established with a three-fold purpose to promote public and official awareness, interest and knowledge concerning population matters in Thailand.

She emphasized that the CPS as one of the Partner Institutions (PIs) has made an attempt to integrate GMs into the training programmes. For example, a historical and institutional perspective on population, ICPD Goals and MDGs, population poverty, reproductive health, increasing human capacity to address gender equity in development, gender (utilized by Cairo Demographic Centre) is integrated into the curriculum of training programmes of the CPS. During the year 2008, CPS made an attempt to integrate generic modules in variety of activities such as meetings, special lectures, consultative services and 6 training programmes. They have conducted training on ‘capacity building on conducting research on reproductive health among RH personnel of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’ during 10-13 March, 2008 in SD Avenue Hotel which was sponsored by the UNFPA. The main objectives of the training were to impart knowledge on how to do research in RH to the officers of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. 63 participants from 12 district offices attended the training. As outcomes of the training, participants learned theoretical approaches and methodologies of need assessment of RH and knew the principles of monitoring and evaluation of RH services.

Another workshop on ‘Gender Studies’ was held with the sponsorship of the UNFPA. The objectives of the training were to provide knowledge on how the gender issues are related to socio-economic development and the importance of gender statistics related to women's developments.

The main objectives of the training workshop on ‘Migration and Health Related Issues’ during 20-31 October 2008 at the CPS were to provide knowledge on population dynamics, migration and health related issues. 17 participants from 8 countries; Bhutan, Lao, Myanmar, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam and Thailand attended the workshop.

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

Workshop on “Setting up the System for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Plan of Older Persons” on 21-23 July, 2009 at Cholapruk Resort, Prachinburi Province, was sponsored by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security to provide information on population dynamics, current situation of aging and poverty and the execution the National Plan for Older Persons in the first 5-years (2002-2006). The workshop was attended by 58 participants from GO, NGOs, business sectors, academic institutes, and UNFPA.

Training Workshop on ‘Investigation on National Plan of Older Persons and Integrating Aging Issues in Local Development Plan’ was held on 25-29 August, 2009 at Krungsri River Hotel, Ayuthaya Province under the sponsorship of the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security. The main objectives of the training were to provide knowledge on population dynamics, changing age structure and to give information about aging plan and the involvement of local administration on the implication and setting up of programme on action for the local elderly. 67 Executives from Sub-district Administration Organization of 28 provinces in 5 regions participated and understood population dynamics, changing age structure, aging, gender and poverty. They also came to know how to monitor and evaluate the aging plan and the key factors to use for setting up local plan and of local activities and improving the quality of life of the elderly.

Workshop on ‘RH Data Manipulation and Tabulations’ on 1 September, 2009 in the National Statistical Office funded by the UNFPA was organized with the objective of provide knowledge on concept and determinants of RH and to provide technical assistance on data manipulation and data tabulations using 2008 RH survey data.

She then narrated some of the challenges faced during the integration of the GMs. These were classified into three aspects man (human resource), money (financial resource) and management. She emphasized that the resource persons or trainers need to be retrained to catch up with the new knowledge and techniques. She emphasized that capacity building of North-South cooperation is very important. She said that specialists on specific topics are scarce and there is the problem of retaining the experienced staffs and specialists due to retirement rule (aged 60).

As far as money (financial resource) is concerned, she said scholarship for capacity building of the new generation to substitute the retired specialists may solve the issue. She projected out that the funding agencies cut down the budget on population and development issues and that these countries are not realizing the new emerging challenges such as ageing, international migration and quality of life. She said that the demand for training and research in this field has been dropping and funding for population related researches are limited. She highlighted that in Thailand, due to the great success in population policy and socio-economic development in the last decade, the funding agencies viewed that they should have enough capacity to offer training programmes to the neighbouring countries. Therefore, the agencies cut down the budget for the staff development as well as for the training programme.

25


As far the management challenges are concerned, she mentioned that joint or collaborative training programmes among PIs are hardly implemented and building team work among PIs does not exist. She expressed her concern on the loose collaboration among PIs due to lack of regular communication and information dissemination. This is further a cause of concern as there is a lack of updated information on the list of experts and resource persons in the region.

She suggested that GM cannot be presented as 'a stand alone course' in the academic programmes. The contents of GM needed to be updated for some specific aspects such as international migration which is now a very important issue in the South-South regions.

26

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

Prof. S.D. Gupta gave an introduction of the v a r i o u s c o u r s e s undertaken by the IIHMR. He mentioned that the IIHMR has two sets of programmes of two years duration on international development and basic and applied course on gender and fertility. He added that various topics of GM are being used in their curriculum of PG courses and Professional Development Course for senior level health administrators. IIHMR has intranet access to students and all the faculty through which GMs are accessible to all for teaching and training purposes.

Dr. P.R. Sodani, Professor, IIHMR, Jaipur, stated that GMs is historical and

theoretical. It should include problem solving and case studies.

Prof . Nath pointed out that perhaps social audit can help to see how it fits in the

societal beliefs and perceptions. He thanked all the delegates for making extensive

presentations and taking part actively in discussion.

He hoped that deliberations in this session would strengthen the Asian Region

Network for all activities related to PPD.

Dr. Ram started by giving a brief historical background of the IIPS. He informed that it was registered as an autonomous institution in 1966 under the Societies Registration Act (XXI) of 1860, which was renamed as International Institute for Population Studies in 1970. UGC declared IIPS as a “Deemed University” in 1985. He highlighted that IIPS is the only institute in the world with a university status exclusively devoted to teaching and research in the field of population sciences. IIPS offers DPS (distance learning), MPS, MPS (distance learning), M. Phil, Ph.D. (Full time and Part time) are Demography, Gender and RH, Sample Survey and Research methodology, Application of Qualitative methods of Data Collection in Population Research, Construction of Life Table and Projection and Family Planning and Reproductive Health (JHU). In the academic year 2008-09; the institute started demography, gender and RH, courses on application of qualitative methods of Data Collection in Population Research, Construction of Life Table and Projection, Reproductive Health and Development (JHU) and Large Scale Sample Surveys in Demographic and Health Research.

He stated that the contents of GM vary across courses and are included in Reproductive Health, Gender Issues in Population Studies, Population and Development, and Historical Demography. The contents of short term courses are Demography, Gender and RH, Family Planning and Reproductive Health (JHU), Reproductive Health and Development (JHU). He gave a description of the various courses conducted at IIPS. He mentioned that the course on Population and Poverty would start in 2010. He also informed that they would start MA/MSc. courses in addition to regular courses with specialization in Population and Sustainable Development, Population and Reproductive Health, Population and Gender Issues, Public Health and Epidemiology, and Population, Environment and health.

Narrating the challenges faced by the institute, he mentioned that these were mainly due to a lack of capacity in the field of environment and health, poverty interface and public health and epidemiology. The other challenges were concerned with timing and availability of local resources for the topics related to population and demography. He mentioned that for the growth of any discipline, human resource is of paramount importance. To this effect, he is going to establish a Centre in the next two to three years for more focused research and study on the themes of GMs.

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

Prof. Deoki Nandan, Director,

National Institute of Health and Family

We l f a r e ( N I H F W ) , s t a r t e d h i s

presentation by highlighting the efforts

that have been put forth by the NIHFW in

institutionalizing the four Generic

Modules (GM). He explained the process

of integration and mentioned that a

series of in-house meetings were held for

revisiting the course curriculum with the

objective of incorporating issues related to ICPD and MDGs, Population and Poverty,

Reproductive Health, and Gender. He also highlighted the course structure, the targeted

audience and duration which is needed for each of the above issues in the GMs. In

NIHFW, two new courses on Human Rights and Gender have been the approved by

Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) in April 2008.

The NIHFW sent the GMs to all the heads of departments of NIHFW for

comments as well as incorporation in ongoing teaching and training programmes

wherever feasible. He added that majority of contents of Generic Modules are being

covered directly or indirectly in teaching, training and research activities like M.D. in

Community Health Administration, P.G. Diploma in Health Administration, P.G. Diploma

in Public Health Management, Certificate Course in Health and Family Welfare

Management, P.G. Certificate Course in Hospital Management through distance learning

and other short-term training courses conducted in the institute. He mentioned that the

NIHFW has already adapted the GMs on “Increasing Human Capacity to Address Gender

Equity in Development” and two training programmes have been organized for capacity

building of the health personnel.

He explained that the modalities used to integrate the PPD training modules

have to be based on lectures and handouts/CDs to the trainees of training courses and

workshops, special lectures by eminent persons, field-based activities as part of various

courses and workshops, visits by the trainees to various collaborative training institutes

which address health and related issues, field-based research activities, scholarship

/fellowship and international courses.

He emphasized that the institute focused on reproductive health mainly in family planning programmes and services, different aspects of reproductive morbidity by managing specific RH programmes, and special attention to adolescent RH, RH services and health care system.

He stressed on the need of collaboration among professionals/organizations

like Medical Colleges, SIHFWs/HFWTCs/CTIs, Nursing Schools/ Colleges, Mother NGOs

for sharing and promoting public health programmes in the country. In this direction,

Public Health Education and Research Consortium (PHERC), a network of 175 medical

colleges, 170 nursing colleges, 60 SIHFWs/CTIs and 170 NGOs has been developed and

NIHFW has distributed CDs of the document of Generic Module to 170 Partner

Institutions of Public Health Education and Research Consortium named as Network

and Partnership in India.

To strengthen public health networking, the NIHFW has taken membership with

SEAPHEN which will facilitate the institute to network with South East Asian Public

Health Initiatives. The NIHFW is also the nodal institution for RCH in the country, and

HIV sentinel surveillance and it has undertake in partnership with the support of

MOHFW, NACO, UNFPA, UNICEF, WHO, NIPI, USAID, UNAIDS and other development

partners. NIHFW in collaboration with international agencies, organized courses like.

Recently, Health Sector Reforms, Policy and Management (WBI, Harvard University),

Public Private Partnership in health (WBI, USAID, Harvard University), Human

Resources for Health (WBI, Harvard University), and Quality Improvement in Health

(WBI, Heidelberg University and GTZ).

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

Dr. Kwankye started with an introduction of the RIPS which

is established as a Regional Institute for Demographic Research

and Training in February 1972. RIPS was set up to achieve intensive

classroom training or guided research in population studies in

English and in-service training and special courses. It also conducts,

guides and publishes technical as well as applied research on

materials like population trends and their relation to social and

economic factors. He added that RIPS undertakes and publishes the results of field

research work within mainly the English-speaking countries of Africa; and provides

information or advisory services in population and develop inter-relationships at the

request of the governments of the countries, which it is expected to serve.

Currently, academic programmes in RIPS included one year duration M.A.

degree in Population Studies, M. Phil. (Research) for two years, Ph.D. (Research) for

three years (full time) and five years (part time), etc. He informed that in the last four

years, RIPS has initiated a number of research activities through research grants.

Research on “Development on the Move: Measuring and Optimising

Migration's Development Impacts in Ghana”, funded by GDN/IPPR; Training and

Research on “Climate Change Learning Observatory Network in Ghana (CCLONG) –

funded by the European Union and ACP Secretariat; “Poverty and Maternal Health in

Ghana: A Spatial Analysis of Exclusion from Care”, funded by the Economic and Social

Research Council (ESRC); “Vendors with no Fixed Location in Ghana: Sexual and

Reproductive Health Implications” funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and

European Cooperation; USAID funded “Data Collection for Evaluation of Ghana

Sustainable Change Project in Ghana”, etc. are few research/training programmes

conducted in RIPS. There are other researches which are expecting funds from IDRC,

Canada and NIH viz. “Research on Climate Change and Human Health in Accra” and

“Gendered Social Context of Adolescent HIV Risk Behaviour” respectively.

Dr. Huang Sen started his presentation by

stating that there are three PIs in China which

have affiliation with the PPD. These are Nanjing

Population Programme Training Centre

International (NITC), Centre for RH Technical

Instruction and Training (CCRHTIT) and China

Training Centre (CTC). These PIs have

independent modules and are following

different processes to recruit participants and

training.

Giving a feedback of the progress achieved, he said that international workshops

were conducted on Population and Development, Capacity Building in Programme

Management, SSC in Population and Development, RH Commodity Supply, MCH Care

Service, Gender and Rights, Infrastructure Design and Equipment for RH Service Station

etc. There are training modules for Population and Development, Sexual and

Reproductive Health and Rights, Maternal and Infant Health Care Services,

Contraceptive and Informed Choices, MDGs and SSC, Capacity Building on Programme

Management, ODA and SSC and Role of NGOs in Advancing Sexual and RH Rights.

Highlighting the role of NITC, he mentioned that since 1980, it has been acting as

the National Training Centre of NPFPC and Centre of Excellence of UNFPA and PPD.

Almost 300 participants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand and Vietnam have

attended the trainings since 2003.

Commenting on the current modules, he said that no training module provides

teaching materials in power-point presentation form. Further, the ICPD/PoA, MDGs,

Human Rights and Gender have 'NOT' been properly detailed in these modules. The

topics and experiences may not meet the real needs of the countries. Lack of case

studies from the home countries of the participants is yet another limitation of the GMs.

He said that there are no standard rules and layout; (preface, keywords, appendix, index,

illustrations, reference and bibliography, pre- and post-test, FAQs, etc.). Thereafter, he

gave a brief description of the progress in terms of theGMs.

Module Compilation for International Training (PPD)Prof. Huang Sen, Executive Director, Nanjing Population Programme Training Centre International (NITC), China

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

He said that CTC is in the process of compiling 5 modules, namely - Population

and Poverty, Population and Environment, Population and Resources, Population and

Social Progress (education, women empowerment) and China's practice of ICPD/PoA,

MDGs. RH services and HIV training provided at the CTC is based on the basis of ICPD

and MDGs and gender-sensitive services and combination of STI and HIV.

He stated that capacity building at the NITC through strategic leadership and

management, result-based management, log-frame matrix, right-based management

and action plan and China's case study (risk management, MIS, MISP) is being

undertaken.

CCRHTIT training sessions on MCH comprises of topics such as, China's Law and

Regulations on MCH, MCH Service System in China, Development and Current MCH in

China, MCH Management Pattern, Prevention and Intervention of Complications and

Women Empowerment and Evidence-based Medicine.

Sessions on Quality of Care at NITC cover international mainstream and theory

framework, China's Practice of Quality of Care. He added that it provides guaranteed

input with improved monitoring and evaluation; standard technical services and

commitment of the policy-makers

33


Prof. Shahnawaz highlighted the goal of ICMH which is to

bring about an improvement in the health and nutritional status of

children and mothers of Bangladesh. The objectives focus on

research for health and nutrition, Human Resource Development

(HRD) through training, teaching so as to ensure Quality Health

Care. He emphasized that so far as an International and National

Training Institute, ICMH has conducted trainings of 780 batches for

local level training and 406 trainings for international participants. He stated that so far

ICMH has trained 19036 persons including doctors, nurses, paramedics, family welfare

visitors, health care providers and health managers.

He gave description of various International Fellowship Programmes on RH

Health, and advanced courses for health professionals and senior and mid-level

programme managers of conducted over a period of time.

He emphasized that Generic Modules were integrated into ICMH curriculum

mainly in Reproductive Health, Increasing Human Capacity to address Gender Equity

and Population and Poverty. ICMH also adapted the Generic Modules in existing

training courses mainly for Professional Training (Short Courses) such as Reproductive

Health focusing on Safe Motherhood, Emergency Obstetric Care (EOC), Violence

Against Women, Essential Newborn Care and IYCF and Early Childhood Development

GMs have also been included in STD/RTI and HIV/AIDS and policy issues on integration

with RH.

He added that ICMH faculty has participated in module development. He

further mentioned that the component of population development has been

integrated in the curriculum of one year skilled midwifery training for nurses and

community SBA training. There are modules for creating awareness of health care

providers and stakeholders on reproductive health of the adolescents. They also

provide technical standard for syndrome management of RTI/STD and maternal health

care. Population development has also become the curriculum for advanced clinical

skills course on Reproductive Health Care and Breast Feeding Counselling Course for

the health care providers.

Institutionalizing the Generic Modules: Progress and Challenges

Prof. SM Shahnawaz Bin Tabib, Dhaka, Bangladesh

34

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

As a part of research activities, he said that since 1999 they have conducted

researches in Population Development, Reproductive Health and Gender Equity. ICMH

has organized the First National Conference in 2007, on 'Achieving MDG's 4and 5: Where

We are and What Needs to be Done'?

He then emphasized on the challenges encountered in the process of

institutionalizing Generic Modules. He mentioned that there is a need of experts and

master trainers in all relevant fields. Effective monitoring system, balance between

theory and practice and quality and sustainability of GMs are other challenges. How to

generate finances for the GMs is an area of concern?

He said that ICMH is intending to institutionalize the GMs into its existing and

new training programmes like Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI),

Reproductive Health Training , Violence Against Women Training (Gender equity), Skilled

Birth Attendant Programme in Bangladesh, Gender Issues, Strategies and

Mainstreaming of Gender Perspective in RH and FP programmes. He added that ICMH

has relevant capacity to institutionalize Generic Modules.

Prof. Shahnawaz stressed that for institutionalizing Generic Modules, they

require trained manpower/staff, financial support and recognition. He stated the future

plan for institutionalizing Generic Modules which require formal consultation with other

institutions, Human Resource Development, developing training curriculum for

individual courses and by hiring/exchange of experts.

He emphasized that ICMH needs to network with other institutions of the PPD

Member States and financial support to conduct more international courses and

training. It also requires exchange of trainees with other PPD countries. Citing his

expectations, he hoped that PPD would provide help in institutionalizing Generic

Modules by means of technical support, financial support, and support for Human

Resource Development.

35


As a lead Partner Institution, the NIHFW developed a proforma for assessing

the institutional capacity for strengthening the South-South Cooperation in the Asian

Region Network of PPD, which was given to partner Institutes for filling up.

SECOND DAY PROCEEDINGS

Prof. Deoki Nandan, Director welcomed Shri. Sanjay Prasad, IRS, Director,

MOHFW. He extended his gratitude for his kind efforts in coordinating the event with

the Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs.

Dr. Jyoti Singh, chairperson, highlighted that since it is a small group, the all may

work in one single group and discuss each theme as given below:

1. Integration of Generic Modules into the training programmes;

2. Resource Mobilization for Capacity Building through GMs based courses

and

3. Institutionalization of GMs.

Dr. Stephen Owusu Kwankye was elected as Rapporteur for the session and Prof.

Huang Sen was requested to chair the session.

Dr. Kwankye presented the outcome of group on the above mentioned themes.

The following points were made regarding institutionalization of GMs:

?There has to be a formal and documented willingness of the institutions to

integrate the GMs,

?The question regarding the relevant institutional and administrative structures

that are in place in each Partner Institution should be addressed. This should

include availability of resources for implementation;

?The institutions should have demonstrable interest in the GMs as a way of

formalizing their relationship with the PPD;

?Programmes that are being run need to be identified and categorized in terms of

whether they are long-term or short-term, certificate or degree level;

Session Two: Proforma for Assessing the Institutional Capacity for Strengthening the South-South Cooperation in

the Asian Region Network of PPD

36

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

?There is a need to highlight which parts of the programmes are identifiable and

which ones are not;

?We should consider the issue of whether some of the much broader modules

such as Reproductive Health could be seen as separate training programmes;

?The GMs should act as “Framework” to be operationalized at the institutional,

country or regional level. This way, some flexibility would be brought.

The following observations were raised regarding integration of GMs into

training programmes:

?At what point do we consider to have achieved integration. For example, do we

expect 100% integration or we can have stages of integration such as 50%, 75%,

etc.

?The modules may not meet the needs and requirements of all regions or

countries. Hence, there is a need to test the application of the modules in

accordance with what each institution or country has decided to do;

?Caution was expressed about the testing of the GMs since their application

would vary from one institution to another;

?There is a need for a formal commitment from the institutions and to be sure to

have resources from both national and international institutions to facilitate

smooth integration of the GMs;

?There should be some laid down criteria for institutions to assess themselves to

belong to the network;

?There should be flexibility to allow institutional adaptation of the GMs as they

suit their particular programmes. For example, for each module, we need to

identify which aspects can be integrated and which others remain to be

integrated. Once this is done, capacity and networking issues would fall in place;

?There is a need for institutional assessment to see at what levels the integration

is done and the capacity of the institutions for implementing the modules,

preferably in the form of a matrix;

?We should consider a mechanism by which the capacity of institutions could be

built to operationalize the GMs;

?The integration of the modules has to be assessed module by module across

countries and institutions considering that some of the institutions have gone

farther than others in the integration of the GMs. This will provide avenues for

some institutions to learn from each other;

37


?There is the need to explore the possibility of expanding the GMs beyond institutions to the wider university community.

Resource Mobilization for Capacity Building

?The idea of a “National Task Force” ought to be pursued more seriously in order

to convince more funding agencies to support the GMs idea with increased

funding;

?The resource mobilization should be considered with respect to the three M's

i.e., man, monetary and management resources;

?There is no need to work on the historical perspectives which have the basic

materials available;

?We need books/materials on ICPD goals and MDGs . Books written by Dr. S.L.N

Rao and Dr. Jyoti Singh could be made available; and

?Other sectors should be brought on board for discussions for the way forward in

resource mobilization.

Dr. Siriwan supplemented by giving the following suggestions and

recommendations. She said that for improving the modules we need to have good will

of the experts. Suggesting on the methodology of teaching, she said that the objectives

of each chapter, key message, pre-test and post-test; FAQs etc should be included.

Further, there should be presentation, case studies, power points, and field visits. She

concluded by stating that there is an urgent need to share and experiences by the PIs.

Since, encouragement is also a mobilization of resource, PPD can award PIs for

excellence.

The floor was opened for discussions among the PIs. Prof. Shahnawaz from

Bangladesh stressed upon the sustainability of the PPD programme. He showed his

concern to increase the number of fellowships so as to increase the integration among

the PIs.

Dr. Ram from IIPS said that as far as resource mobilization is concerned, the

faculty as well as student exchange programmes among the PIs will increase the

capacity building and material exchange to some extent. In terms of financial

assistance, he stressed upon the need to form consortium or task force at regional

levels or sub-regional levels to get funds from various organizations for specific

events/issues/training/research.

38

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

Dr. Jyoti Singh emphasized on the fact that there is a hope for networking within

the countries or among the countries to get the sustenance and resource mobilization.

He added that the academicians and professionals in different countries are capable of

pursuing the various researches and training proposals through various funding

agencies. Consortiums can work together on these joint exercises considering the goals

of the ICPD and MDGs.

Prof. S. D Gupta, IIHMR, commented that the bottom-line is we have different

collaborations with different countries but they are not functional practically. The

reason for this is that the parties do not take care of financial part of it. There is a need to

have funds to work together. GMs are incorporated in all the countries with some or

other alterations and modifications. What we need to do is to explore fellowships for

short term courses so as to exchange the resources. The NIHFW can play a lead role in

this as it is the nodal agency of Government of India.

Dr. Nazrul Islam, Programme Officer, Partners in Population and Development

(PPD), showed his concern to incorporate the skills and issues related to primary health

care providers in the GMs. According to him, the best primary health care services can

only lead to the ICPD and MDG goals to reduce maternal mortality.

Dr. Sodani, IIHMR, stressed upon the fact that the PIs should think beyond the

GMs. PPD may facilitate the regional teaching, training and research activities on

regional basis. New programmes can also be evolved based on the GMs by the PPD. PIs

can provide technical help in this direction. He stressed that research consortiums to get

funds for research activity is a great idea.

Dr. Rao, Consultant, PPD, commented three points in this discussion. One is the

central issue of adaptation of the GMs depending upon cross-cultural variations. He

stressed that the GMs are not intended to incorporate all issues. They only reflect the

issues of specific topics.

39


Mr. Sanjay Prasad, Director,

MoHFW, in chair, congratulated the

delegates, agencies and governments

for facilitating the participants to

attend the PPD workshop. He

submitted that while proposing for

funding to donor agencies, minor

details need to be taken care of very

carefully as it can create a lot of

troubles. He added that within the

MoHFW, funds are available but there is a process to follow. For IIPS and IIHMR, it can

take little time but as the NIHFW is directly associated with the ministry, funds may not

be a problem. Ministry of Finance is very generous for NRHM but it takes time to pursue

the same. He announced that under the PPD, few scholarships have been announced by

the ministry. He said that GMs are very similar to the NRHM with respect to their need

based approach. He thanked and appreciated the Director NIHFW, as the lead partner

representative to organize this meeting at NIHFW. He stressed that MoHFW very

sincerely wishes to take it forward.

Dr. Rao highlighted the key observations from the experiences of Partner

Institution as given below:

?The presentations by the PIs on progress and challenges on GMs and their

institutionalization clearly indicated that there has been steady progress since

last July.

?In addition to considering the GMs of Reproductive Health, more PIs have

initiated training courses on this theme as well as on GMs of gender and

poverty;

?Given the diversity in structuring of actual courses and to meet the specific needs

of clientele through different courses in PIs, no PI has attempted to adopt any of

the GMs in its entirety. Only a few have adopted the entire GMs with

modifications.

?All the participating institutions have considered various elements or

substantive themes that are contained in the four GMs for incorporation into

the existing training courses or activities at their respective institutions. In a very

broad sense, most of the PIs have incorporated the elements but the specific

elements actually incorporated into the different training courses are not

uniformly the same. Also, the nature in which such incorporation has been

attempted is different. Some have co-opted the

40

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

elements into various courses, some have incorporated the elements into

thematic concept papers or notes, some have recognized that many of the

elements in the generic modules are already contained in their courses and

others feel that there is a lot of scope to incorporate the elements into existing

or new courses. In this context, it was suggested to initiate an exercise through

the Lead Institution to document in matrix form information on how the various

elements or themes contained in the different GMs have been infused into the

training courses or activities at the different PIs. The same information might

provide a framework to address the issue of building capacity of the PIs related

to the GMs themes.

?Regarding institutionalization of the modules, the constraints of technical,

financial and other resources at the PIs were reiterated, as was raised in the last

July meeting. Solutions are required regarding the constraints like lack of

specialist staff, lack of fellowships, lack of collaboration among the PIs, lack of

appropriate training materials and case studies, the need for resource persons,

etc. Additionally, the underscoring of issues of monitoring and evaluation, as

well as quality and sustainability of training activities is very relevant.

?The discussion on institutionalization also included a number of observations

and suggestions on networking among the PIs. It would be important to help

establish within the PI countries a network of other institutions and other

stakeholders to achieve synergy and multiplier effect. It would be essential to

define the interrelations between sub national PIs, PIs of the Asian region, PIs of

different regions, as well as with the PPD. The next session on issues and

challenges in networking among the PIs will provide an opportunity to discuss

those suggestions further.

Finally, in the post lunch session dealing with the writing of the report of the

meeting, including synthesis and recommendations would provide an opportunity to

make additional suggestions for follow up by the PIs themselves and by the PPD. On the

basis of such recommendations, the Lead Institution might develop a work programme

for the Asian Region Network to address the priority concerns. Likewise, PPD might also

initiate its follow up actions on GMs and their institutionalization.

41


Dr. Jyoti Singh

said that networking is

an important strategy.

?More specific

objectives for the same

is required in future and

g u i d e l i n e s a t t h e

n a t i o n a l a n d

international levels are

requested. He shared

t h e f o l l o w i n g

observations:

? Subsidiary networking needs to be formed within the country. It is practical and

possible to think about national networking to enhance national level

mechanism.

?Consortiums either within the regions or countries need to be functional. If

national level networking is possible by the task forces, it will help in bringing

together the training and research institutions. Other stakeholders in this

regard may also be included like NGOs, corporate, CBOs etc. He asked the

groups the possibility of bringing them together. The NIHFW, in India, can do a

better job at varied levels because of its expertise in the field.

?Within these two day deliberations, various experiences have been exchanged,

learning has taken place as demonstrated by regions and sub-regions.

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

Proposed Action Plan by the PIs

Proposed Action Plans by the Partner Institutions

Indonesia

Dr. Dwi, BKKBN Research and Development Center proposed that based on the

need and capability, they would use the GMs but the reading material is required to

enhance the capacity building. Exchange of resource persons is difficult due to financial

or budgetary constraints. It is where the PPD can help.

Thailand

Dr. Siriwan's mentioned that networking among the PIs CPS's Network would be

promoted and for this, following topics would be covered: Human Resource,

Coordination, Communication and Financial Resource. Programme exchange for PIs'

specialists should be implemented. They would create and provide a bulletin of their

training programmes to retain the continuation of communication and building up the

network. Web based information among the PIs would be created to provide

information on the progress and lessons learnt. Regarding coordination she mentioned

that PIs with similar interests would coordinate to develop training programmes

together in order to strengthen their own capacity and to retain long term network.

Programme of visiting professors between the PIs would also be developed.

She concluded by stating that the PPD should provide financial support and

resource of mobilization for training of PIs. Scholarships for capacity building of new

generation to substitute the retired specialists for strengthening their capacity through

Masters or Ph.D. programmes should also be initiated.

NITC China

Dr. Huang Sen said that he learned his weaknesses and strengths in these two

days. He plans to make and adopt systematic modules. He proposed to strengthen his

communication with fellow PIs especially SEARO. He would also write a professional

report for his ministry as to advocate the four modules to be circulated at a larger scale.

IIPS, Mumbai, India

Dr. Ram Faujdar emphasized on networking. He proposed to have a space on the

website from the PPD for sharing information. They will try to make available the

education materials through e-learning. He proposed that PPD can pay the meager

amount of fee for various courses.

45


Dr. Ram also proposed to take PhD students in association with the IIHMR and

NIHFW which was accepted by the two institutions.

IHMR, Jaipur, India

Prof. S. D. Gupta said that the websites the can be linked to the websites of the

PIs. Networking can be extended through PRCs under of various organisations the PPD.

They can also have their websites and associated with the IIPS, all data and generic

modules can be shared. He proposed that three institutions in India, namely IIPS, IIHMR

and NIHFW would meet frequently in future for planning activities of the PPD in future.

NIHFW, New Delhi, India

Prof. Deoki Nandan proposed that the guidelines for holding the taskforce

meeting should be once in 3-6 months. He also proposed that IIHMR and IIPS would join

the NTF, India, PPD. He mentioned that with the help of MOHFW, scholarships for

international candidates are in the process of formal approval. He informed that he

would request the member countries to facilitate the processing and nominations for

scholarships as early as possible.

Dr. Rao appreciated all the PIs and said that a lot of good ideas have been

proposed and the future action plans have been laid. He said that Prof. Nandan and his

team India have already initiated the good work and have to take the lead further.

46

Workshop Report ___________________________________________________________________

Recommendations

Recommendations

The aim of this session was to discuss three main themes as below:

?Integration of Generic Modules (GMs) into the training programmes;

? Resource Mobilization for Capacity Building through GMs based courses and

?Institutionalization of GMs.

The following recommendations were given:

Issue 1: Institutionalization of GMs

The following recommendations were made:

?There has to be a formal documented willingness on the part of the institutions to

integrate the GMs into their respective courses.

?The institutions should have a demonstrable interest in the GMs as a way of

formalizing their relationship with the PPD;

?Programmes that are being run, need to be identified and categorized in terms of

whether they are long-term or short-term, certificate or degree courses;

?We should consider the issue of whether some of the much broader modules such as

Reproductive Health could be seen as separate training programmes and

?The GMs should act as 'framework' to be operationalized at the institutional,

country or regional level. This way, some flexibility would be brought to bear on their

institutionalization.

Issue II: Integration of GMs into Training Programmes

? We need to have a common scale to measure the integration of the modules in the

existing courses offered by the institution,

? There is a need to adapt the modules in accordance with the gaps or deficiencies

which each institution or country has identified,

?There should be some laid-down criteria for institutions to assess themselves to

belong to the network,

?There is a need for institutional assessment to see at what levels the integration is

done and the capacity of the institutions for implementing the modules i.e., in the

form of a matrix,

?We should consider a mechanism by which the capacity of institutions could be built

to operationalize the GMs,

?The integration of the modules has to be assessed module by module across

countries and institutions. Some of the institutions have gone farther than others in

the integration of the GMs and this will provide avenues for some institutions to

49


learn from each other and

?There is the need to explore the possibility of expanding the GM's patronage

beyond institutions to the wider University community especially about issues

related to population and demography.

Issue III: Resource Mobilization for Capacity Building

?The idea of linking the training and research institutions with the proposed

National Task Force ought to be pursued more seriously in order to convince more

funding agencies to support the GMs idea with increased funding. Some

guidelines for the NTF should be given for resource sharing and mobilization. The

resource mobilization should be considered with respect to three Ms i.e., man,

monetary and management resources;

?There is a need to generate materials or academic resources on the GMs. Efforts

should be made to compile materials and/or academic resources for distribution

to the PIs.

?This can be shared on the web and other means like CDs and Blogs. The

books/materials on ICPD goals and MDGs should be made available. Books

written by Dr S.L.N. Rao and Dr Jyoti Singh would be made available.

?Other sectors like NGOs and international organizations should be brought on to

the board to find out the ways for mobilizating resources.
