Community- Led Ebola Action Field Guide for Community Mobilisers

This Field Guide is a resource book for community mobilizers, field staff, and trainers to support planning, implementing and follow-up of Community-Led Ebola Action (CLEA) social mobilisation activities in Sierra Leone. It provides tools and ideas to empower communities to do their own analysis and take their own action to become Ebola-free.

The CLEA approach recognises that communities alone have the power to stop the spread of Ebola, through their collective decisions and actions. It is intended that community mobilisers using the guide be trained in its use as part of a comprehensive training covering all aspects of working in communities.

Journey of Hope: A Practical Guide for Making Positive Life Choices – Haiti User’s Guide

This user’s guide is part of the Haiti Journey of Hope Kit – a set of practical experiential learning activities designed to address a range of HIV and AIDS related issues, in particular HIV prevention.

It guides participants to develop life skills that can help them deal with different situations, linked to staying healthy and achieving their goals and dreams in life. The Journey is represented by: a mass of water, where there are crocodiles, hippos, and snakes, representing dangers in life including the HIV virus and other STIs; narrow bridges and three boats, representing prevention methods of abstinence, faithfulness, and condom use; and future islands, representing what participants most want and value in life– their future goals and dreams.

The overall aims of Journey of Hope are to:

  1. Help people in Haiti stop the spread of HIV and have a healthy life
  2. Enable people to be in relationships they want, in a way that keeps them safe from HIV infection
  3. Give hope to people for a future that helps them choose to abstain, be faithful, or use condoms to prevent HIV infection.

To achieve the overall aims, Journey of Hope:

  • Promotes open discussions about sexual behavior and issues related to HIV and AIDS
  • Involves people in fun and interesting ways using participatory story telling with interactive visual aids and symbols
  • Provides the choice and helps participants to develop skills that empower them to protect themselves from HIV protection (abstinence, faithfulness, and condom use)
  • Encourages people to plot their own ways to a safer lifestyle to enable them to achieve outcomes they really want and value in life;
  • Applies a range of powerful and practical communication tools for behavior change
  • Enables people to develop skills in negotiating sexual matters in a relationship
  • Clarifies issues around Voluntary Counseling and Testing
  • Promotes support, compassion and positive living for those living with HIV and AIDS

Let’s Discuss

This is a manual for a kit which includes a CD, DVD and guide to support group discussion among Tanzanian youth and/or adults around HIV and AIDS.

Specifically, it focuses on issues related to adult-child communication, cross-generational sex, stigma and discrimination, and faithfulness. The kit provides a collection of songs, dramas, discussion questions, and participatory activities that encourage young people and adults to discuss HIV and AIDS and identify ways to protect themselves and their communities against infection. Although the guide can be used as a stand-alone tool, the materials from the larger kit are meant to make discussions more lively and entertaining. Each item in the kit is designed to promote personal reflection and group discussion on how to apply what is learned in the participants’ own lives.

This package or materials is meant to compliment existing life skills and group education interventions and can be integrated into new or ongoing activities. The kit covers the topics of: 1. alcohol misuse and risk-taking, 2. adult-child communication, 3. cross-generational sex, 4. stigma and discrimination, and 5. faithfulness.

Malawi – Moyo ndi Mpamba Campaign Marriage Counseling for Newlyweds Training Manual

The Moyo ndi Mpamba, Usamalireni (“Life is precious, take care of it”) campaign produced these materials for newlyweds. SSDI-Communication worked with the Ministry of Health and faith leaders to develop a booklet for young married couples (the Takunyadirani [“We Celebrate You”] booklet) containing messages on priority health topics especially relevant to couples who are about to be married or who are newly married: maternal and child health, nutrition, family planning, malaria in pregnancy, and HIV & AIDS. The project also developed a training for religious marriage counselors, and conducted trainings in six districts.

Trained counselors reached out to young married couples through counseling sessions, small-group church meetings, door-to-door visits, marriage outreach sessions, mock weddings, and sermons. The Takunyadirani booklet served as a guide for counseling sessions. SSDI-Communication trained over 1,450 marriage counselors in six districts, and distributed 14,000 Takunyadirani booklets to as many newlywed couples, representing over 90% coverage of all marriages that occurred in the catchment areas of trained counselors; these couples also benefitted from counseling sessions.

Learn here about the newlywed booklet.

In the Moyo ndi Mpamba, Usamalireni campaign, the SSDI-Communication supported the Ministry of Health in realizing its ambitious health promotion agenda by developing and running a multimedia, multi-level Moyo ndi Mpamba, Usamalireni (“Life is precious, take care of it”) campaign, from 2011-2016. The ultimate goal of this campaign was to promote positive health behaviors and create demand for available services across six focus health areas – HIV & AIDS; family planning; nutrition; maternal, neonatal and child health; malaria; and water, sanitation and hygiene – and with audiences across the socio-ecological landscape and all targeted life stages.
