A Client-Centered Approach to Reproductive Health

This manual is designed for trainers facilitating the learning of trainees in how to offer client-centered reproductive health services. It is intended for people who have prior experience in participatory training using adult learning methods and who have undergone basic training in the clientcentered approach. The trainers should be experienced in encouraging and motivating trainees to participate fully in the training in order to take away the most from the experience, and to then put what they have learned into practice when working with clients. Having said that, the fundamentals of participatory training are repeated and reinforced throughout the manual as a reminder, and to encourage those who may have had less advanced training to provide the needed skills to trainees.
