2. Piloting of the training modules through training for staff at kindergartens (subject to funding availability) Once the training modules have been developed, they will need to be piloted in a select number of kindergartens, through trainings for relevant staff. Based on the feedback and findings from the piloting, the training modules will be updated and finalized.
3. Scale-up of the nutrition training for staff at kindergartens (subject to funding availability)

Once the modules have been finalised, the training will be delivered to all kindergartens throughout the country, based on the materials, methodology and the monitoring and evaluation system finalised after the piloting.
