| description |
The use of report cards in a HIV/AIDS
prevention program in Cameroon appears to be a promising
tool for galvanizing community interest, discussion and
action. This paper includes the following content: genesis
of the report cards; the report card methodology;
implementation of the report card approach; observations on
the report card process; refining the report card approach;
and suggestions for improving the program. The paper
concludes that people seem to appreciate and to be drawn
into engagement in the difficult discourse on HIV/AIDS by
the innocence and even fun of the report card game. They
feel a sense of power by influencing actions on HIV/AIDS and
judging the quality of health and support services. It
appears that this report card approach may well be
internalized in the HIV/AIDS program of Cameroon in such a
way that it will provide a sustainable contribution to the
prevention of this disease. |
