FAPEG training manual
 | PROMETRA believes that positive progress in the area of health care and health education requires two elements: the right message and the right messenger. In sub-Saharan Africa, approximately 85% of the population receives their health education and health care from traditional practitioners. Without a doubt, the traditional healer is the right messenger. The right message is a critical component, especially in the fight to overcome the misconceptions and mistruths that are often spread through charlatans. PROMETRA developed the FAPEG curriculum to provide a cultural competent, scientifically sound training program for non readers. This curriculum covers the subjects of HIV/AIDS, infant oral rehyradtion, and natural family planning.
Since 1999, PROMETRA has trained over 5000 traditional healers using this curriculum. Formal presentations on the FAPEG teaching method have been made in Japan, Europe, United States and throughout Africa. |
