Over the past few years, public servants were in shortages of trainings. As far as I¿m concerned, this thesis has helped these public servants get the trainings they need by first interviewing them on what their problems were and after wards, fulfilling their needs. The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness and relevance of short-term trainings provided for public servants as well as to explore the challenges faced concerning participation in training programs. Based on the analysis and interpretation of the data, the short-term training was rated by the majority of the respondents as relevant in providing the knowledge, skill and attitude required by the civil servants to perform their day-to-day responsibilities. The study revealed that the effectiveness of the trainings were expressed with mean scores of 57.62 and 57.79 for males and females respectively, which in both cases is above the average. The study disclosed that the majority of the respondents agreed that the trainings provided for them were effective which shows that this thesis paper has been of a great significance.

"Battling Over Birth, a new human rights report from Black Women Birthing Justice, shares stories from over 100 women who recently gave birth in California. The report reveals the culture of fear and coercion that has transformed birth into a battleground, a deep lack of trust of our hospitals, and a broken maternal health-care system that fails too many black women. The report shakes up our understanding of where state violence happens, and who it happens to; putting the human rights spotlight onto a system that is often unaccountable to black communities. Battling Over Birth also provides solutions. The report shares positive experiences by black women, and identifies best practices based on their experiences. It makes a series of recommendations, including community accountability boards to hold hospitals accountable; increased access to midwifery and doula-care; recruitment and training of more health-care professionals of color; culturally-competent, empowering prenatal and postpartum care; greater access to home birth and birth centers; and a sharp reduction in the use of C-sections."--Black Women Birthing Justice.
