Interventions
Empowerment Agency Training (EAT)
The intervention comprises a behavioral training program focused on personal agency and empowerment. The curriculum follows the established frameworks developed by The Self-Empowerment and Equity for Change (SEE Change) Initiative at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The training is followed by simple, practical "prescription", or action plans, for behaviour change in daily work. Implementation is supported through direct observation by facilitators (expert shadowing) and incentives, including advanced training opportunities and locally managed financial support.
