Major Constraints faced during FY1 Sample Clauses

Major Constraints faced during FY1. The number of provincial certified trainers listed on the formal letter from DNSP was not enough to carry out a very high number of trainings within three weeks: through coordination meetings with NMCP and DPS, the number of trainers was increased (by using national ToTs). • The hired vehicles were not enough to transport trainees and facilitators during the coffee break and lunch time: the costs of fuel for DPS vehicles were covered by PSI. • Facilitators were very unhappy about the lack of facilitation subsidies that were not allowed under USAID regulations: PSI paid per diems to all trainers who gave trainings outside their home municipalities. • Training overload and delays on starting sessions, especially on the first day of training, due to organizational burden of more than one training happening at the same time: PSI sent one experienced provincial coordinator to each province to support the OPMs and facilitators. • Constant power cuts during training sessions: PSI covered costs of fuel to supply Hospitals/ DPS electric generators. • Transport of trainees from their home municipalities to municipalities hosting the trainings: transport subsidy (for local trainees) or per diem for outside participants were provided by PSI. • Poor catering services in terms of quantity and quality, as the providers had to serve 2 or 3 classes per day: PSI immediately contacted the catering providers to correct problems, identifying alternative service providers where needed.
