Men As Partners: A Program for Supplementing the Training of Life Skills Educators, 2nd Edition

This is a manual intended for use by Men As Partners (MAP) educators in facilitating workshops on male involvement in reproductive health. Contains a variety of interactive educational activities on such topics as gender and sexuality, male and female sexual health, HIV and AIDS, and other sexually transmitted infections, relationships, and violence, as well as general resources for facilitators, including tips for improving facilitation skills and sample introductory and icebreaker activities.

It is intended for use in working with men to address gender norms that put men and their partners at risk for negative reproductive health outcomes. It is also designed to engage men in issues related to gender and reproductive health to prevent HIV infection and gender-based violence. The manual is aimed primarily at MAP master trainers, who train and supervise life skills educators who implement MAP activities with the public, and at MAP life skills educators themselves.

Though originally designed for use by MAP educators in South Africa, the manual and the activities have been used successfully by trainers around the world.
