‘TRAIN THE TRAINER’, a first-time initiative of a free training programme for those delivering elder care in developing countries, was held in Durban, South Africa, between June 10th to 21st, 2024. With a special focus on ageing in Africa, the training programme aimed for enhanced elder care outcomes through international collaboration, emphasising knowledge sharing and capacity building.
This was a collaboration between CommonAge and TAFTA and conducted by Fulbright Scholar, Dr Renu Abraham Varughese. There were 28 delegates from three countries who participated in this training programme.
One of the program’s goals was for trainees to return and share their knowledge within their organisations, creating a ripple effect to elevate and enhance practices in the aged care sector, with a particular focus on dementia care.
