Intensive staff development is an essential part of the programme. Multi-disciplinary courses in community health management have already been held and further courses are proposed in 1976. Specialist training for clerical and executive staff is also planned to supplement on the job training. The courses include instruction and workshop sessions on the practical application of such concepts as: (1) Setting objectives, planning, and evaluating achievements. (2) The use of multi-disciplinary teams in community health manage¬ ment. (3) The use of basic research techniques in planning, formulating local policy, and evaluation. (4) A “systems” approach to the organisation of health services at the community level.
