The project findings were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) which revealed lack of clear articulated plan for the TVSMMure . Hence a seven session basic training was carried out to empower CBO members with skill, knowledge and ability (SKA) in accomplishing the SP by outlining its five years (2008-2012) strategic direction through setting goals and priorities.
