 Introduction
1.1 Background of CBE
 Jimma University is a higher educational institution which is well
known for its CBE.
 Establishing its position in south west of Ethiopia it aspires to train high
caliber professionals at graduate and postgraduate levels through its
innovate community-based education program (CBTP), Team Training
Program (TTP), Development Team Training Program (DTTP) and
Student Research Program (SRP).
 CBE in general was started in 1975 in Kingston, Jamaica. In 1983 it
started to be implemented in Jimma University it being among the first
to practice CBE is among its uniqueness.
 Community Based Education (CBE) is a means of achieving educational
relevance to community needs. It consists of learning activities that uses
the community extensively as a learning environment. Students, teacher,
members of the community and representatives of other sectors are
actively and continuously engaged in the CBE exercises.
Cont’d
…The recognition of the importance of community-based
training as Community development problem-solving
mechanism was documented since 1940s (Trostle, 1986;
WHO, 1987). (1)
CBE evolved from the field of community development that
grew in the industrialization model of the mid-1900. The
best substitute for the word “development,” are terms that
are more supportive of process concepts such as
advancement; betterment; capacity building; empowerment;
and nurturing, hence, community development is shortly
defined as “the capacity of people to work collectively in
addressing their common interests. (2) (Maser, 1997).
1.2 Strategies of CBE
1.Community based training program (CBTP)
• CBTP is a training approach that takes place within community and
is designed to empower community members with knowledge,
skills and resources to improve their health and well being.
• CBTP is one of the principles of CBE that runs in phase from first
year to graduate along with an inbuilt regular to flow up programme,
the same group of students will be assigned to a given community
every year to assess the fundamentals of the community life.
 Students during their study and work in the community are expected
to collect, analyze, prioritize problems, prepare an action plan,
interview and solving according to the given priority.
 The approaches employed for conducting CBTP includes data
collection, by making house to house visit and kebele offices.
Strategies cont’d…
2. Team training program (TTP)
 Team Training program is the structural training approach designed to improve the
performance of teams by enhancing their communication, coordination and problem-solving
abilities.
 This CBE strategy is solely devoted to the students in college of public health and medical
sciences.
 The teaming of students simulates the work structure of the health centers in Ethiopia. A mix
of health professionals is forming a team and each health professional has a role to contribute
in health center activity.
 Graduating students from different health categories of college of public health and medical
sciences are posted as a team.
Key Features of TTP:
 Team-focused: TTPs focus on improving the functioning of the team as a whole, rather than
individual team members.
 Experiential learning: TTPs typically involve experiential learning activities, such as
simulations, role-playing, and case studies.
 Feedback and reflection: Teams receive ongoing feedback and opportunities for reflection to
identify areas for improvement.
 Tailored to specific needs: TTPs are tailored to the specific needs and challenges of the team.
 Strategies Cont’d…
3. STUDENT RESEARCH PROJECT (SRP)
 A student research project is a structured and systematic investigation
conducted by a student, typically as part of an academic program.
Key Features of a Student Research Project:
 Original research: The project should involve original research that
contributes new knowledge or insights to a particular field of study.
 Supervised by a faculty member: The project is typically
supervised by a faculty member who provides guidance and support.
 The project follows established research methods and adheres to
ethical guidelines.
 Written report or presentation: The findings of the research project
are typically presented in a written report or oral presentation.
Strategies cont’d….
4. DEVELOPMENTAL TEAM TRAINING PROGRAM (DTTP)
 A Developmental Team Training Programme (DTP) is a structured training approach
designed to enhance the overall development and performance of a team.
 DTTP is a training program which has simulated Woreda development models.
 The plan and the budget are tabled to Woreda council that constitutes multidisciplinary
team and representatives of the community to ensure synergy of the sectors and ownership
of the plan.
 The DTTP is a component of CBE and implemented in post graduate programs.
 The PG student in a college level creates a team and the team encompasses a mix of
disciplines. The PG students are exposed for two months in a community.
 The students of different discipline in a college which formed a team review the
Woreda/Kebele plan and take activities from the Kebele and plan for data analyses and
intervention.
 The team also mobilize the community, solicits funds from the community, government and
non-government sources.
 The DTTP program involves the community in problem identification, drawing of action
plan and implementation
Strategies cont’d
Key Features of DTP:
Team-centric: DTPs focus on developing the team as
a whole, rather than individual team members.
Long-term: DTPs are typically longer-term programs
that involve ongoing training and support.
Tailored to team needs: DTPs are customized to
address the specific needs and challenges of the team.
Experiential learning: DTPs often incorporate
experiential learning activities, such as simulations,
role-playing, am Development and Training:
 1.4 Principles of CBE
To expose the student to real environment or community
Problem solving
Enables the student to apply knowledge to practice
Exercising team sprit
To generate knowledge
It encourages self-learning
Group dynamics
1.5 Advantage of CBE

Provide students commitment

Provides confidence for the student
Develops competency
Challenge tolerance
Provides comprehensive knowledge
Capability and capacity building
1.5 Significance of the study
 CBE helps students to understand the problems that the Community faces. Some
advantages the study provides includes
 The Study helps us to examine the social makeup, birth and Death (Vital
Statistics) and health related issues
 Through this project students not only gain awareness of major societal
problems but by participating, students gain valuable experience working
Collaboratively, developing essential team work.
 This program festers abridge of understanding between the community and
students.
 Equips Students with skills necessary to conduct research effectively
 The study will help us to plan and design future intervention programs that will
be relevant to the study area
 heaps Students develop their problem-solving skills by Understanding the root
cause and exploring potential answers
 *Finally, CPTP's outcome will provide valuable foundation for future Studies
and heath planning efforts, ultimately contributing to heathier society

Methods Cont’d…
3.6 Sample Size Determination
The sample was determined by using single population

sample determination formula as shown below….

Prevalence P = 50%

(To obtain the maximum sample size)

Level of significance d =5%

Level of confidence = 95% (Zα/2 = 1.96)

Methods Cont’d…
Therefore to determine the sample size used by this formula
Sample size (n) = (Za/2)2 p (1-p)
d2 = 1.962x0.5 (1-0.5) 0.052
=384
Therefore the final sample size (n) is 384.
NF= (n/ (1+n/N))
Where NF = the minimum sample size
n= sample size
N=total number of households
NF=384/ (1+ (384/1200)) =290
To get sampling interval (K)
K=N/nf K=1200/290= 4.14
Where, k= sampling interval
N= no of house hold
nf = sample size
1200/290=4
Methods Cont’d…
3.7 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

The communication coverage in Kitimbile kebele is characterized by a significant
deficiency,
with radio and telephone being the primary sources of information for the community.
The role of newspapers and postal services is negligible..
About 77% of the people have either radio or TV in their house.
Home telephone, public phone, newspaper, and postal service are not present in the
town and the kebele.
This may be a problem of supply owing to ineffectiveness of administration.

Muslims, with a slightly higher female-to-male ratio.
 A significant number of residents are single and literate.
 The most common means of accessing information is through radio and
television.
 Majority of the households fall under the lower annual income bracket.
 Agriculture is the predominant occupation, and health concerns,
particularly those related to coughs and fevers, are prevalent.

 In terms of communication and information access, radio and television

are the most widely used media among Kitibile residents . These
traditional broadcasting platforms provide essential news updates,
entertainment, and educational content that cater to diverse audiences.
Cont’d…
 Economically, a majority of households in Kitibile fall under the lower
annual income group (World Bank, 2019). This economic status can be
attributed to their primary occupation being agriculture – a sector that
remains vulnerable to external factors such as climate change and
market fluctuation. Despite these challenges, farming continues to be
the main source of livelihood for most residents in Kitibile.

 Regarding health concerns, diseases related to coughs and fevers are

prevalent within this community. These conditions could be linked to
various factors such as poor living conditions or lack of access to
adequate healthcare services. Addressing these health issues requires
targeted interventions from local authorities and international
organizations working in collaboration with community members.
Recommendation
To address the issue low level income identified in our
study, it is crucial for kebele administrative bodies and
other stakeholders to take actionable steps towards
enhancing the income of low-income communities. This
can be achieved through community mobilization and
active participation
To address the electricity shortage issue in Kitibile
community, collaborative efforts from various
administrative levels are necessary. These include the
kitibile administrative level, zone administration,
regional administration, and negotiations with the
government electric supply

Cont’d
Students dropping out from the school is one of the problems
identified so the kitibile administrative and the family should
discuss and make an effort to prevent school dropout. Letting
students finish their school programs
 In our study result illiteracy was one of the major problem
therefore different state holders should make an effort to
counteract or to reduce illiteracy and encourage and promote
education/literacy.
 Cough is a common health issue identified during the study
period. To mitigate and potentially eliminate this problem,
administrative bodies and state holders should prioritize
creating awareness campaigns within communities regarding
the causes of cough-related diseases.
Problem Identified Based On The Result
1.Low average annual income with family member
 Adequate and stable income is essential for a family to meet
their basic needs, including shelter, clothing, food, and education.
Lack of balance in annual income among family members can
result in a poor living standard, increased susceptibility to health
conditions, and conflicts within the family.
2.Lack of facilities in health institutions
 Inadequate healthcare facilities and insufficiently trained
professionals in the remote areas of kitimbile resulted in many sick
children, pregnant mothers, and other patients receiving no
treatment at all. This lack of timely and appropriate care led to the
progression of acute diseases into chronic conditions, making what
could have been easily preventable diseases much more severe.
Cont’d
3.Illitracy rate is high.
4.Shortage of electricity is abundant.
