Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) from each local health facility of project working areas participated in the training given on the topic of “Prevention and management of health problems due to pesticide exposure”. FCHVs play a crucial role in the health system. Thus, FCHVs could be one of the major information sources to reach wider communities to make them aware of the safe handling of pesticides. Additionally, most of the FCHVs are also engaged in farming. Therefore, a two-day training program was developed to help them learn about the safe handling of pesticides and motivate them to practise it. This training was given in order to enhance knowledge of FCHV`s on pesticide issues and about its safe handling as well as to upgrade skills of FCHV`s for effective counselling and health education at the communities. The training is also expected to help them to influence mother groups and wider communities to learn about this important issue.
