Despite efforts to raise awareness of research ethics in Kenya, many NGO staff lack bioethics training, posing risks to study participants. This paper highlights lessons from a five-week research ethics training for 15 Amref Kenya staff in 2018. The interactive sessions used case studies, video clips, and discussions, with experiential learning proving effective in enhancing understanding. Participants, mostly female project officers, found video clips particularly impactful. Mentorship from experienced faculty improved teaching methodologies and engagement. The study underscores the importance of interactive, andragogy-based training and mentorship in strengthening bioethics knowledge among NGO researchers.
