3 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Major Activities During This Input The HRD Expert s third mission to Tirana was carried out from the 5 th September to the 16 th September, 2016 with a total of 9 working days completed, not including travel. During the mission the HRD Expert worked together with the Team Leader and local project team to modify the 3 day training programme for government veterinarians on the concept of One Health and Farm to Fork, based on the lessons learnt from the pilot training programme delivered in June, On Friday 16 th September a morning of training was held for the PAZA training team, which included a session on listening skills. 2.0 Modifications to the Curriculum for One Health Farm to Fork Modifications to the training programme were made based on the conclusions from the discussions during the debriefing session, following the delivery of the pilot workshop on One Health. Each session was discussed in detail and the sessions on Farm to Fork, Veterinary Council and Division of Responsibilities were reworked to include new information and improved activities. Each junior expert took responsibility for the sessions that they had delivered during the pilot workshop and ensured the session plans, activity sheets, handouts and power point presentations were revised to reflect the agreed improvements. (Annex II Revised Session Plans). One new session on Listening Skills has been developed to raise the awareness of the veterinarians to the importance of active listening and the skills that are required for active listening. The session on anthrax has been revised to include a practical session on correctly preparing blood smear slides in the field that can then be sent to the laboratory for analysis. 2.1 Programme for Training In Farm to Fork for Official Veterinarians The following dates and venues have been suggested for the first three training sessions for government veterinarians in the Farm to Fork programme. VENUE DATE Target Group Durres 11 th,12 th,13 th October Official Vets. From Durres Shkodra, Lezha 17 th, 18 th, 20 th October Official vets. From Lezha and Shkodra ISUV 1 st, 2 nd 3 rd November Members of the Veterinary Council 1

4 The ideal group size for participatory training is 15/16 participants. To ensure the appropriate number of participants attend all three days of the workshop in each location a list of the official veterinarians should be obtained and invitations sent out by the Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO) to 15/16 participants per workshop. For the first workshop in Durres the following 6 trainers should be present and each trainer to deliver at least one session. Mr Ardit Kaci Junior Expert PAZA II Mr Romeo Boci Junior Expert PAZA II Ms Silvana Bajrami Junior Expert PAZA II Ms Esa Koralliu Junior Expert PAZA II Mr Kledis Cela Private Veterinarian Mrs Katerina Deliallisi Private Veterinarian If the trainers from the veterinary faculty, who attended the Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop wish to be involved in delivering a technical session they should be required to use the training materials, e.g. PowerPoint presentations and videos produced by the project. They will need to practise the sessions using the session plans and activities developed by the training team, before commencement of the first workshop in October. Following the first workshop, the trainers can then divide into two training teams and deliver the programme firstly to all government veterinarians and then to private veterinarians in the five regional zones. 3.0 Training on Anthrax in Hot Spot Areas Following investigations by the project into laboratory confirmed outbreaks of anthrax from January to 19 th June this year in five villages the need for a national educational programme in anthrax has been identified. To be effective this programme should be a partnership between the State Veterinary Service, Public Health and Ministry of Health. To publicise the risks and control measures to the stakeholders in the communities where anthrax outbreaks have occurred three of the junior experts and Ali Lilo, Epidemiology Unit will deliver training to final year students at high schools in the affected districts and at general meetings with stakeholders according to the itinerary below. Itinerary for Training in Risks and Control Measures for Anthrax 19 September 14:00h Depart Tirana 22:00h Arrive Delvina 20 September 09:00h Meeting at the school in Delvina 12:00h Meeting with the stakeholders in Delvina 17:00h Depart to Gjirokastar 21 September 09:00h Meeting at the school in Kolonje 12:00h Meeting with the stakeholders in Kolonje Spend the night in Gjirokaster 22 September 09:00h Meeting at the school in Fushe- Bardhe 12:00h Meeting with the stakeholders in Fushe-Bardhe 14:00h Depart to Tirana 2

5 For this purpose a PowerPoint presentation has been developed and a short video showing how to correctly dispose of infected carcases and how to prevent the spread of anthrax. The training to be delivered in the High Schools will last for approximately one hour, during which PowerPoint presentations on anthrax and animal welfare will be shown, and a short quiz organised to test that the pupils have understood the important messages from the presentations. At the end of the session each pupil will receive a leaflet highlighting these important messages. Also the teachers will complete a short training evaluation questionnaire to gain their opinions on the effectiveness and appropriateness of the training delivered. The training for the stakeholders will be held at an appropriate neutral venue where there is electricity and large enough to hold all the stakeholders. The training should last approximately 2 hours and will consist of the video on how to correctly dispose of animals that have died from suspected anthrax and then the power point presentation on the risks and control measures for anthrax. This will be followed by a discussion with the stakeholders on issues the presentations have raised and then a short power point presentation on animal welfare will be delivered. Finally all stakeholders will be asked to complete a training evaluation questionnaire and leave with a nine page fact sheet on anthrax that has been produced by the project. 4.0 Training with Veterinary Council A meeting was held on Wednesday 14 th September with the President of the Veterinary Council, Thoma Puriqi, vice president, Ymer Elezi, member, Altin Telo, and Professor Kristaq Berxholi, Veterinary Faculty. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the role of the Veterinary Council in providing training for continuing professional development (CPD) for its members. The conclusions from the meeting were: The Veterinary Council to register all government veterinarians and a realistic number of private veterinarians. The 3 day workshop in Farm to Fork to include in the content of the session on the Veterinary Council the Ethical Code of Conduct and a summary of the Veterinary Order. The 3 day workshop on Farm to Fork to be delivered to all government veterinarians and private veterinarians. The private veterinarians who attend this training should be paid up members of the Veterinary Council. Separate workshops will be delivered to government and private veterinarians in the same region. Further discussions should take place with Professor Berxholi concerning the development of online training modules for veterinarians as part of their CPD. 3

6 5.0 Recommendations The group size for each Farm to Fork workshop for the official veterinarians is limited to 15/16 participants. To ensure the appropriate number of participants attend all three days of the workshop in each location a list of the official veterinarians should be obtained and invitations sent out by the Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO) to 15/16 participants per workshop. The trainers complete the revision of the training sessions for the Farm to Fork Workshop and practice each session before the start of the first workshop on the 11 th October. The members of the Veterinary Council are invited to participate in all three days of the Farm to Fork Workshop at the beginning of November; if necessary, two workshops can be delivered simultaneously at ISUV. 4
