Foreword

The Regional AIDS Training Network is pleased to release its 2013 Training Prospectus. This prospectus contains details of courses that will run in 2013 across RATN’s 35 Member Training Institutions (MIs) from 11 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) region.

This prospectus contains training courses in the Four Clusters namely: HIV Prevention; Treatment Care and Support; Impact Mitigation and Institutional Development.

RATN has developed and integrated into its training programmes modules that aim to develop skills and competencies on design and effective implementation of HIV prevention interventions.

At least 75 percent of RATN’s training programmes are tailored to address the needs of adult learners considering that adult learning skills are supposed to take into account the many experiences and

challenges that the adult learners come along with to training courses. Since inception, RATN has mastered the art of applying training methodologies that promote participation and exchange of experiences to enhance transfer of skills. The training programmes have clear instructional plans and they use case studies, group discussions, personal experiences and the development of work plans are incorporated within the training methodologies.

At the end of training, participants are encouraged to develop action plans on how the new skills and knowledge will translate to improved performance at their places of work.

VI

This year, we are very excited about the new courses that will be offered by our MIs as well as those that will be designed and rolled out next year because they will help us to develop the capacity of HIV and AIDS response in the Eastern and Southern Africa.

This prospectus is designed to make it easy for you to find courses in your area, and at whatever level you are – at regional level, country or community levels. As long as your work relates to HIV and AIDS we are sure that you will find a training course from RATN that will build and strengthen your skills.

We hope you enjoy and gain much from the trainings and look forward to your feedback to enable RATN to continue designing and tailormaking courses that meet your needs anytime anywhere.

VII

About RATNThe Regional AIDS Training Network (RATN) is an International NGO facilitating the strengthening of capacity and skills for effective HIV response. Established in 1997 as a project funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), RATN’s status changed in 2003 from a project to an NGO representing a consortium of training institutions in Eastern and Southern Africa region collaborating on training.

Training and Capacity Building

In collaboration with its member institutions, universities, and other partners, RATN facilitates gap identification, design, development and delivery of short and long term courses; exchange programmes, training, quality assurance; monitoring and evaluation to ensure that training produces intended results.

Why Choose Our Courses

At least 75 percent of RATN’s training programmes are tailored to address the needs of adult learners. Since its inception, RATN has applied training methodologies that promote participation and exchange of experiences to enhance transfer of skills.

VIII

The RATN training programmes have clear instructional plans and use adult learning and participatory approaches including case studies, group discussions, and personal experiences. The development of work plans are also incorporated within the RATN training methodologies. At the end of each training, participants are encouraged to develop action plans on how the new skills and knowledge will translate to improved performance at their places of work.

Range of Courses We Provide

RATN provides courses in the following HIVthematic areas:

1) HIV Prevention

2) Treatment Care and Support

3) Impact Mitigation

4) Institutional Development

Availability of Appropriate Skills

RATN has over 200 experienced trainers in different areas of HIV capacity development such as policy design and analysis, HIV clinical and epidemiology, project management, monitoring and evaluation and community based interventions. RATN’s model of Training of Trainers (TOT) has been at the centre of all RATN training programmes with the aim of strengthening the culture of excellence in course content and delivery among RATN member institutions. The other strength within RATN is that in the event that trainers with specific skills are required in one part of the region, RATN facilitates their availability from a Member Institution to another.

IX

Our Experience

Follow-up studies of RATN course alumni demonstrate that the alumni and their employing organisations are satisfied with skills gained through RATN courses. One alumni follow-up study from the Counselling and Community Care courses offered by RATN and its MIs indicated that over 80% of the respondents improved their operational skills in the workplace and that there were increased levels of confidence and inter- personal skills with clients. RATN is also a well known and trusted source of information and knowledge on HIV and AIDS related training and capacity development issues in the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) region. RATN’s reputation for quality is largely the result of its systematic and comprehensive approach to Quality Assurance in its Training and Information Sharing and knowledge Management programmes.

Scholarship

RATN has limited tuition scholarships to support regional participants. The scholarships, which cover tuition only, can be accessed through member institutions. Potential candidates are encouraged to apply for this support through the Member Training Institution while demonstrating that they have other additional funds catering for their travel and accommodation expenses. Please note that the decision for selection entirely lies on the member institutions.
