Abstract
The study evaluated a first session of the knowledge transfer training programme organised for Ministry of Health workers in the
area of maternal and child health in Burkina Faso. The objective was to obtain the participant’s perceptive for improving the training
programme. A qualitative study was conducted during and after the first training session, using the four levels of Kirkpatrick
training evaluation framework. A group discussion was organised with 17 participants during the training and a few weeks after
the first training session, 11 of them were interviewed again. A thematic analysis of the transcribed interviews was done in line
with the objectives of the evaluation. We noted that the participants had a good impression of the training, in relation to their
expectations, the adequacy and quality of the teaching. The 11 post-training interviewees stated that they had acquired knowledge
and skills relevant to their work. Using the learner's behavioural change model, three groups emerged as a result of the training.
The first group expressed intent to use the knowledge gained, the second group set conditions for the effective application of the
knowledge acquired, including the enabling professional environment. While the third group felt that despite the knowledge and
skills they had acquired, they would need assistance with the applying the skills at their jobs. In conclusion, the training improved
the capacity and skills of health workers, but an enabling professional environment and support will facilitate the application of
knowledge. (Afr J Reprod Health 2020; 24[4]: 101-108).

Résumé
L'étude a évalué un programme de formation des agents du Ministère de la Santé du Burkina Faso en matière de transfert de
connaissances en santé maternelle et infantile afin de générer et de partager des informations pour améliorer le processus de
formation des acteurs de la santé. Une étude qualitative a été menée pendant et à la fin de la première formation, sur la base des
quatre niveaux d'évaluation du cadre conceptuel de Kirkpatrick. Il a été noté que les participants ont eu une bonne réaction à la
formation. Cette réaction était liée à l'adéquation entre leurs attentes et la qualité de l'enseignement. Presque tous les participants
ont déclaré avoir acquis des connaissances et des compétences grâce à la formation. La formation au transfert de connaissances a
été bien perçue et acceptée par les agents de santé du Burkina Faso qui ont apprécié sa contribution à leurs connaissances et
compétences. Cependant, pour faciliter l'application de ces compétences et connaissances, il semble important d'améliorer
l'environnement professionnel afin de créer toutes les conditions favorables à une telle pratique. (Afr J Reprod Health 2020;
