More HIV stigma reduction Resources

Sawa Sawa Positive Prevention

This training material is one of two materials produced for Sawa Sawa, an HIV programme implemented by the Health Communication Capacity Collaborative (HC3) in the Sofala Province of Mozambique. The program ran from January 2017 – December 2017, and sought to reduce stigma in communities in order to improve health seeking behaviors for HIV services, particularly among men.

The program ran Positive Prevention groups for people living with HIV (PLHIV), which were designed to teach clients about the difference between CD4 and viral load and the importance of viral suppression, as well as provide a supporting environment for PLHIV.

In addition, the program led community dialogues which are described in Sawa Sawa: A Community Dialogue Manual to Reduce Stigma.

The goals of the Sawa Sawa Positive Prevention training are for the participants to:

  • Be acquainted with the Sawa Sawa Positive Prevention tool and its objectives
  • Have created an environment where there is confidentiality and all feel welcome
  • Reflect on the reasons that cause men to take less care of their own health
  • Assess the importance of men taking care of their health

The key messages of the session are:

  • It is a man’s responsibility to take care of his own health and the health of his partner.
  • It is important for men to seek health services and guide other men to do the same, in order to:
    • Use condoms to avoid transmitting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to their partner
    • When having a sign/symptom of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), preventing the disease from getting worse or transmitting it to their partner

Captain and Coach Approach

In Rwanda, a flagship community mobilization activity is the ‘Captain and Coach Approach.’ Derived from an entertainment education strategy, it utilizes the popularity of soccer in Rwanda as a mechanism for disseminating health information for hard to reach out-of-school youth.

The key feature of this approach is to equip out-of-school youth with important messages on reproductive health and life skills to enable them to benefit from the adult support provided by the “Coaches.” The program combines a set of objectives and competitive sport-specific activities in order to elicit a behavior change among young people. This is an opportunity for young people to experiment with these behavioral changes collectively as a team and as individuals.

Maisha Bora Curriculum (Healthy Lives)

The “Maisha Bora” (Healthy Lives) Curriculum provides comprehensive life skills-based HIV prevention education for young people.

The curriculum was developed in Tanzania but has also been adapted for use in Zambia. This manual was designed as a guide for peer educators in promoting sexual and reproductive health knowledge and positive healthy behaviors, but it can also serve as a resource for any individual who works with young people. It was developed in recognition of the fact that young people are one of the most vulnerable groups who account for the greater percentage of new HIV infections.

Maisha Bora was evaluated in 2010. The findings showed that youth who received outreach/information through the peer educators using the curriculum increased their knowledge and attitudes around key topics such as HIV education and prevention, as evidenced by pre- and post-tests.

Implementing Integrated Population, Health and Environment Interventions in the Lake Victoria Basin

The HoPE-LVB Project employs a PHE approach that gives underserved families and communities living in the Lake Victoria Basin the knowledge and skills to improve their health, reduce poverty and increase their capacity to sustainably manage natural resources.

The aim of this training curriculum is to help HoPE-LVB build the technical knowledge and skills needed to support implementation of cross-sectoral integrated PHE activities among community leaders and members, as well as local government partners and other NGO colleagues who are interested in replicating the HoPE-LVB model throughout the Lake Victoria Basin and beyond.

The curriculum is designed for a 3.5 day training but in some communities depending on the capacity to absorb the content, it may take longer. The trainer should design the training based on adequate knowledge about the trainees. The Curriculum contains 13 modules.
