AB Third country training refers to the training of developing country
persons in another developing country with funds from a developed
country or agency. This is desirable because it results in capacity
building, reduces the shock that sometimes arises when third world
participants visit the developed world and makes it possible for
realistic comparisons to be made among countries. This programme was
sponsored by the EEC. OBJECTIVES: To harmonize training of laboratory
technicians in developing countries using standard pedagogic procedures.
To fully integrate the laboratory in AIDS control efforts. To start a
holistic HIV/AIDS control approach among professionals. METHODS:
Standard small group teaching methods were used: lectures, seminars,
practicals, discussions. RESULTS: In two training sessions, 41
participants have been trained from 12 countries. (Benin 1, Cameroon 21,
CAR 2, Gabon 2, Rwanda 1, Tchad 2, Zaire 2, Bostwana 1, Ghana 2, Nigeria
5, Tanzania 1, Zambia 1). The mean proportion of knowledge gained was
33% (SD 9%). Over 90% of participants said the course would greatly
contribute in assisting them achieve their professional goals.
CONCLUSION: This course would help in stopping the marginalisation of
laboratory staff and lead to their full integration in AIDS Control
activities in developing countries. The staff so trained can now
integrate into the HIV/AIDS Control Programmes. The training manuals
produced will now result in uniform training all over the continent, and
trainees eventually end up as trainers.
