Obstacles and solutions
• Lack of resources: integrated in the local systems
• Lack of training materials: developed in the local context in collaboration with local partners
• Lack of technical support: developed network of core trainers at provincial, district and local levels
• Overloading Adult Mentors & Peer Educators with various duties: segmented training sessions into shorter courses throughout the year.
