Abstract:
The Federal Ministry of health of Ethiopia has been working towards standardization and
institutionalization of in-service (IST) trainings at national level. As part of this initiative the
ministry developed a national in-service training directive and implementation guide for the
health sector. The directive requires all in-service training materials fulfill the standards set in the
implementation Guide to ensure the quality of in-service training materials. Accordingly, the
ministry reviews and approves existing training materials based on the IST standardization
checklist annexed on the IST implementation guide.
