Saleema Initiative

The Saleema initiative, launched in 2008 by the National Council of Child Welfare (NCCW) and UNICEF Sudan, supports the protection of girls from genital cutting, particularly in the context of efforts to promote collective abandonment of the practice at community level.

Saleema is a word that means whole, healthy in body and mind, unharmed, intact, pristine, and untouched, in a God-given condition.The broad objective of Saleema is to change the way that people talk about female genital cutting by promoting, at the community level, wide usage of new positive terminology to describe the natural bodies of girls and women.

Since the Saleema Initiative began in 2009, the ideal of keeping girls saleema has spread throughout Sudan, and also created interest in neighbouring countries such as Somalia and Egypt.

Tools for HIV Counseling for the Asia-Pacific

This package was created to meet a need to improve the quality of counseling as countries step up their drive to contain the AIDS epidemic. Prepared over two years by WHO and UNICEF with technical assistance from the Family Health International Asia-Paciﬁc Regional Ofﬁce, it is designed to equip trainers, counselors in training, and working counselors in the Asia Paciﬁc Region with essential skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality HIV testing and counseling services in a range of approaches and settings.

The HIV counselors handbook, trainer’s session plans, participatory learning activities, and HIV counselor toolkit reﬂect tests being used by health care providers. The provider-initiated testing and counseling approach is based on the UNAIDS/WHO Policy Statement on HIV Testing (2004), which was drafted after numerous rounds of consultations to deal with the low uptake of Voluntary and Conﬁdential Counseling and Testing worldwide.

Community Approaches to Child Health in Malawi: Applying the Community Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (C-IMCI) Framework

The C-IMCI Framework is made up of three elements: (1) improving partnerships between health facilities and the communities they serve; (2) increasing appropriate and accessible health care and information from community-based providers; and (3) integrating promotion of key family practices critical for child health and nutrition, and a multi-sectoral platform. The intent of the C-IMCI Framework is to enable NGOs and governments to categorize their existing community-based program efforts and develop and implement a coordinated, integrated strategy to improve child health. The framework is designed to address each of the three key elements and a multi-sectoral platform that would be most effective in improving child health.

This paper documents World Relief’s approach to C-IMCI interventions at the household level in Malawi, where the government is dedicated to implementing C-IMCI through its community network of health surveillance assistants. Included are sections on: background, Care Group Model, Programming, Results, Lessons Learned, and Scale Up / Costs.

The Response of Caribbean Youth To HIV/AIDS Prevention Messages & Campaigns

The aim of this 2008 study was not only to discover the effectiveness of HIV prevention messages but also to find out from the target audience how such campaigns could be more effective at reaching them and bringing about the required behavior modification to lead to HIV and AIDS prevention.

The questionnaire designed for the study and the focus group sessions questioned respondents and participants on such areas as their knowledge of HIV/AIDS – what it is and how it is contracted, their attitudes and their sexual habits. The target audience for this study ranged in age from 14 to 18. Generally speaking, in the Caribbean, that refers to school-aged children from fourth form to upper sixth or second year college students.
