The training manual was prepared for the inspectors of slaughterhouses in Egypt to support the training activities of the General Organization for Veterinary Services (GOVS). The manual has two main parts: 1. Overview on how to design, organize, implement and evaluate training programs in general 2. Recommendation on how to design and facilitate training programs for the inspectors of slaughterhouses. Report CDI-14-004.
