Engaging Boys and Men in Gender Transformation: The Group Education Manual

This 11-chapter manual offers trainers an array of participatory experiential exercises to reach men (and their partners), exploring gender socialization and its impact on HIV prevention and care. Piloted in Ethiopia, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania, the manual is designed to assist master trainers in developing curricula to work with men and boys on gender, HIV and AIDS issues.

After a short background discussing the scientific rationale, chapter topics include: Gender and Power, Sexuality, Men and Health, Substance Use, Healthy Relationships, STI and HIV prevention, Living with HIV, Fatherhood, Violence and Making Change-taking Action. This educational manual allows men to question non-equitable views about masculinity and develop more positive attitudes to prevent unhealthy behaviors that put them and their partners and families at risk. It can also be used to train facilitators who will implement workshop activities with groups of men.

The activities are intended for use with men of all ages, although some adaptations might have to be made depending on the ages of the men and the country and community context. These activities can also be adapted for use with groups of men and women.

Facts about Ebola Infographic

HIV and Infant Feeding Counseling Tools

These tools were created to help health workers before, during and after a counseling session so that they can better support HIV-positive mothers.

The tools consist of the following parts:

  • Counseling cards that describe the counselling process. Infant feeding counselors should use the flipchart during counseling sessions with HIV-positive pregnant women and/or mothers. The cards need local adaptation to a) identify the most acceptable/feasible feeding options from 0 to 6 months, and b) identify the most suitable foods to cover nutrient requirements from 6 to 24 months.
  • Take-home flyers that explain how to practice safer infant feeding, according to the mother’s decision. The counselor should use the relevant flyer to teach the mother, and she can then use it as a reminder at home.
  • A Reference guide that provides more technical and practical details than the counseling cards. Counselors can use it as a handbook.
  • An Orientation guide that suggests ways for health care managers to train infant feeding counselors on how to use these tools.

GIS Applications for Social and Behavior Change Communication in Liberia’s Ebola Response

Data from the multiple, disparate sources were interwoven to produce an integrated geospatial dataset for Liberia using a special GIS software package. WHO Ebola data and DHS household data were integrated with other data, such as administrative divisions, population densities, road networks, and mobile coverage maps

The geodatabase offers map displays, including an interactive map on the Ebola Communication Network, that overlay seemingly disparate sets of data into a useful and informative perspective that can help explain where and why current behaviors exist and where and how to target SBCC interventions. Results may help contribute to the appropriate design implementation and focus of SBCC activities.

GIS has great potential to integrate data from a variety of sources into a meaningful way for applications in controling the Ebola outbreak. SBCC interventions can be informed by continuing to map and monitor activities on the ground, which may prove especially important due to the critical nature of communication in this context.

What Religious Leaders Can Do about HIV/AIDS

This is a resource that religious leaders can use to explore ways of responding to HIV/AIDS.

It explains what HIV/AIDS is, how it can be prevented and how it affects particular groups, especially children and young people. It also explains how parents who are infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) can avoid passing it on to their infants.In addition to these basic facts, each chapter includes suggestions on what religious leaders can do to stop the spread of HIV.

This information is meant to serve as a starting point for meditation, dialogue and action. It can be adapted as necessary to specific spiritual teachings or religious texts, to the cultural practices and beliefs of particular communities, to local issues that contribute to the spread of HIV, and to ongoing programs.

The last section of the workbook is devoted to ways in which religious leaders can generate action against AIDS within their community. This is followed by a list of faith-based organizations and other institutions to contact for ideas and inspiration or for more technical information about HIV/AIDS.
