| Summary: | This sourcebook aims to support efforts
by countries to strengthen the role of the education sector
in the prevention of HIV/AIDS. It was developed in response
to numerous requests for a simple forum to help countries
share their practical experiences of designing and
implementing programs that are targeted at school-age
children. The sourcebook seeks to fulfill this role by
providing concise summaries of programs, using a standard
format that highlights the main elements of the programs and
makes it easier to compare the programs with each other. All
the programs are summarized in section two, which allows
those seeking advice on program design to browse through the
various options and identify those that might reward further
study. The full program reports for each country are given
in section three. Each program report follows the same
format, so the reader can more easily find those aspects of
the program that are of specific interest. The consistent
design also allows for ease of comparison between programs.
There are four main sections within each full program
report. Part A gives an overview of the program, describing
the rationale, the aims and objectives, the target audience,
the components, and the main approaches. Part B describes
the process from the initial needs assessment, through the
development of materials and training, to the practical
details of implementation. There is an attempt made to
estimate unit costs, but these should be seen only as
indicative, because the number of beneficiaries is often
uncertain and because costs in newly implemented programs
may be artificially high. Part C provides an assessment and
comprises lessons learned. This section begins with comments
from implementers on the challenges faced and the lessons
learned, followed in a few cases by a description of any
formal evaluation of the program. The final part explores
the extent to which the program complies with a set of
benchmarks that, on the basis of expert opinion, contribute
to an effective program. Part D gives details of the
organizations involved with the program, including their
contact information. It lists all the materials that are
available to the reader, along with an order code number. |
