An NGO, Society for Women Development and Empowerment of Nigeria (SWODEN), has trained about 250 Community Health Volunteers and Health Service Providers (CHV/HSP) in Katsina State.
SWODEN also organised a 2-day training for 110 male motivators as part of the implementation of its Gender/Behavior Change Intervention (BCI) project.
The state’s SWODEN programme officer, Tajuddeen Ma’aruf, disclosed this during a training session for the CHV/HSP in Katsina.
According to him, Nutrition International (NI) supported the two capacity-building trainings in collaboration with the Katsina State government.
He said the refresher training for the CHV/HSP was to update their knowledge of male involvement in maternal health.
