%X <strong>Introduction</strong>: Training is a factor in change and modification of the visions and practices of the members of a community. That is why training community members encourages community relays (RECO) to acquire skills in a practical way. The objective of this study was to identify the different training themes received by community relays in the Mumbunda Health district over a period from January 2021 to December 2024. <strong>Methods</strong>: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study on the training received by community relay workers that took place in the Mumbunda Health district from November 2024 to March 2025, involving community relay workers. Using a structured questionnaire consisting of closed-ended questions, interviews were conducted face-to-face with the community relays in the form of a directed interview. The data collected focused on the various training received by community relay workers, including: the organization and functioning of community participation, maternal, newborn and child health, education, Gender-Based Violence (GBV), nutrition, hygiene and sanitation, disease prevention, communication, and information and management systems. The data were analyzed using SPSS Version 23. <strong>Results</strong>: Of the 100 community relays surveyed, 24 (or 24%) reported having each benefited from at least one training between 2021 and 2024. According to the interest in the training, 23 out of 24 community relays (or 96%) found the training received to be interesting. Most community relays, or 75%, deemed the knowledge acquired from the training to be sufficient. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The organization of training for community relays in several themes remains the ideal way to strengthen capacities to solve health issues in the community.&nbsp;<br />
