The objective of the training is to build capacity of participants to understand the concept of Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for reproductive health in emergency situations and the rationale for implementation in the early phase of emergency.
Secondly, to learn about the MISP objectives, components and priority activities; to provide information about supply and logistics to support the MISP implementation; and to produce national trainers on MISP to facilitate future trainings.
