The aim is to strengthen clinical trial monitoring capacity among stakeholders in East Africa due to training gaps.
Implemented a multi-country capacity-building project across six East African states.
Developed a tailored curriculum on clinical trial monitoring with stakeholders’ input.
Conducted pre- and post-training assessments to measure knowledge before and after the training.
Knowledge scores increased from 61.8% at pre-test to 84.3% at post-test (22.5% point improvement).
Participants achieving the 60% pass mark rose from 37.5% (75/200) at pre-test to 95.6% (191/200) at post-test.
200 participants were trained, with a majority being female (50.5%).
