2) Scope & Boundaries
●    Curriculum: Deliver training strictly with the approved standardized curriculum (for HWs and CHWs). Any adaptation requires prior approval.
●    Modality: Trainings are cluster-based with schedules organized to minimize service disruption at health facilities.
●    Targets: Deliver cohorts and mentoring according to the approved workplan and numeric targets.
●    Surveys/Evaluation: Implement pre/post-training assessments and cooperate with session observation/feedback.
●    Logistics: AADA provides venues, materials/printing, participant transport/per diem, meals, and trainer travel & accommodation per policy.

●    Set up appointment/defaulter-tracking; clarify referral pathways, emergency triggers, and feedback loops.
D. CHW Enablement
●    Coach CHWs on community screening, brief advice (e.g., tobacco cessation), and referral; support joint supervision where assigned.
E. Data, Reporting & Reviews
●    Keep tidy files (agenda, attendance, pre/post, mentoring notes); submit monthly KPI (Key Performance Indicator) summary to AADA M&E (Monitoring & Evaluation).
●    Present progress and fixes in monthly/quarterly reviews; align data with HMIS (Health Management Information System) where applicable.
