The Year II manual include ten comprehensive modules that contains subjects like; effective communication skills, interpersonal communication and facilitation, public speaking, decision making, negotiation and conflict resolution etc.

The training focused on providing participants with skills that helped them to amplify their voices, negotiate, make decisions and find community based solutions to address harmful norms and practices. The training was facilitated by Waithira Gonkyo and Ami Sen Gupta from Rain Barrel Communication along with national trainer Tika Dahal (with support from UN Women & Government of Finland) for the project consortium partners[3] districts trainers and project staff.

The facilitators ensure participatory and interactive approaches using tools and techniques like; self- reflection, stories, role plays, use of art, game and real life case studies, group work etc. Beside with this, mock and feedback sessions from participants was also conducted.

Moving ahead, these participants/district trainers are mobilized as pool of local resource persons/experts to facilitate Province Level MToT in Surkhet and Sudurpachhim Province[4] on gender transformative dialogues.
