The key activities carried out under this initiative include: Need Assessment, Gap Analysis, Developing the Competency Framework, Designing the Curriculum, and Training, Learning Materials (TTLM), Expert review and Feedback.

The sessions were presented and discussed in the presence of senior officials and technical experts from MoLS and partner institutions.
