Implementing ‘Capacity assessment and strengthening of Training Centers of ICDS in Gujarat’ program in partnership of UNICEF. In existing system of ICDS – Women and Child Development Department, AWTC is a hub to train AWWs as well as Helpers. In order to effectively build the capacity of AWWs/Helpers, there is an acute need to strengthen the capacity of AWTCs itself. The rationale is that if AWTCs – as an institute is capable enough with regard to the required knowledge, skills and resources, the quality of the trainings being imparted to the trainees will definitely be significant. Mode is instrumental in assessing the current capacity of the AWTCs and formulate a strategy to further strengthen them by providing technical inputs for improving the quality of training.
