ENA Training Guide for Community Volunteers

The Essential Nutrition Actions (ENA) framework is an operational framework for managing the advocacy, planning and delivery of an integrated package of preventive nutrition actions encompassing infant and young child feeding (IYCF), micronutrients and women’s nutrition. Using multiple contact points, it targets health services and behavior change communication support to women and young children during the first 1,000 days of life – from conception through the first two years of life. The ENA Community Volunteers Training Guide equips semi-literate or illiterate Community Volunteers with the basic action-oriented nutrition knowledge and counseling skills needed to support pregnant women, mothers with children under two years and other key family members to adopt optimal nutrition practices. The course also covers basic skills for identifying children who are malnourished including appropriate referral.

Girls at Risk: Discussion Tool

This is a discussion tool video to be used in conjunction with the series “Untold Stories in a Time of HIV and AIDS” which aimed to build and train a community of new voices to write, produce and make local content programs. Although a regional series, it was made up of nine separate local films. Each partner organisation produced one film with its own distinct local voice. The films were produced in local languages, but the series as a whole was sub-titled into English (in Mozambique the whole series was sub-titled into Portuguese).

This tool consists of a twelve minute DVD with extracts from five films in the Untold series, and a discussion booklet, which highlights the risks of ordinary young women and girls in a world of HIV & AIDS.

GREAT Project How-to-Guide

The Gender Roles, Equality, and Transformations (GREAT) project (covered in a Health COMpass Spotlight) is an evidence-based international development intervention that succeeded in improving gender norms related to
sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence in Northern Uganda. The GREAT model encompasses several components and places collaboration with local partners and the community at the center of the intervention. GREAT’s elements are tested, evidence-based, and scalable; its interventions are tailored to life stages within the broad category of ‘young people.’ GREAT is simple and low-cost, and is designed to respect positive norms and values even as it asks communities to examine and challenge those norms and values that are negative. GREAT includes: 1) simple steps to bring communities together to take action to improve adolescent well-being; 2) a serial radio drama with stories and songs about young people and their families living in Northern Uganda; 3) orientation to help Village Health Teams (VHTs) offer youth-friendly services; and 4) a toolkit with lively stories and games. Each of the components encompasses specific methods and tools.

This How-to-Guide provides the tools and instructions needed to implement the GREAT project in a community. It is broken down into sections for each GREAT project component; within each component chapter, one will find an overview of the component, suggested activity sessions, and tracking forms for tracking implementation progress. Activity sessions may be repeated in multiple chapters of the guide for ease of use. This guide also includes the handouts referenced throughout the guide. Some of the materials in the are sourced from other projects that were studied while conceptualizing GREAT.

GREAT Scalable Toolkit

The Gender Roles, Equality and Transformations (GREAT) Project works to improve gender equity and reproductive health in Northern Uganda. GREAT uses radio drama, community mobilization, and small group discussions to promote dialogue and reflection among adolescents, with the goal of facilitating the formation of gender equitable norms and the adoption of attitudes and behaviors which may positively influence health outcomes among boys and girls, aged ten to 29.

This toolkit was developed as the centerpiece of the project and includes the following materials for use with small groups: activity cards, fact cards, flipbooks, game instructions and question cards, and discussion guides to accompany a year-long radio serial drama. (Scripts, recordings and development process description are available upon request.) The materials and activities are tailored to the lifecourse and designed to be scalable. The materials were also produced in local languages (Luo and Acholi).

Handbook on Participatory Methods for Community-based Projects

This handbook is intended to help integrate more participatory methods into programming for vulnerable populations, especially war-affected young adults and children.

In Liberia, Sierra Leone and Northern Uganda, among other countries in sub-Saharan Africa and throughout the world, communities are poorly equipped to respond in positive ways to returning girl mothers and to other war-affected young mothers in the community who are vulnerable because they may be unmarried, poor, and/or lack family support.

The overall goal is to improve the reintegration and well-being of young mothers by involving them as key actors in changing their situations and building broad community support for this process.
