Agency for Assistance and Development of Afghanistan (AADA) is an Afghan non-profit non-governmental organization working for the development of Afghanistan mainly through (1) provision of quality health services; (2) community development; (3) training and capacity building at professional and community levels; and (4) research in topics of public health and social sciences besides various projects in different parts of Afghanistan.
1) Role Purpose
Strengthen primary health care capacity for hypertension and diabetes through high-quality, in-person trainings for health workers and CHWs, followed by on-site mentoring, supportive supervision, and data-driven quality improvement using the project-approved standardized curriculum and tools.
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.
● Data & Monitoring: Use standard project tools (paper or digital) for attendance, assessments, mentoring notes, and KPI reporting.
Authority limits: The Trainer does not change curriculum content, cluster allocations, numeric targets, or commit logistics beyond AADA approvals.

3) Key Responsibilities
A. Training Delivery (Health Workers – HWs & Community Health Workers – CHWs)
● Modality: In-person, cluster-based sessions using the approved curriculum; cohorts ~20–30 HWs or 25–35 CHWs; practical stations (BP, glucometer, counseling, referral).
● Inclusion & logistics: Deliver in Dari/Pashto, arrange women-only groups/segregated spaces when needed; AADA handles venue/materials/travel.
● Assessment: Run pre/post tests and submit attendance/results within 72 hours.
B. Mentoring & Supportive Supervision
● Provide ≥2 post-training mentoring visits per site within ~8 weeks (bedside coaching, case reviews, mini-audits).
● Use light Quality Improvement (QI) methods (e.g., Plan–Do–Study–Act – PDSA) to close gaps.
C. Service Integration & Referrals
● Embed hypertension (HTN)/diabetes mellitus (DM) into Outpatient Department (OPD) flow (triage → vitals → consult → counselling → follow-up).
● 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.
F. Compliance & Safeguarding
● Follow AADA Code of Conduct, PSEA (Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse)/Child Safeguarding, Data Protection, Anti-Fraud, security, and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures).
● Ensure gender-sensitive, culturally appropriate delivery; apply basic IPC (Infection Prevention and Control) during practicals.
