SEXUALITY AND LIFE-SKILLS

Participatory activities on sexual and reproductive health with young people

Acknowledgements

This toolkit is the result of teamwork between sexual and reproductive health practitioners working with young people in Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Uganda. The first version of the toolkit was developed with International HIV/AIDS Alliance, Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia, Young, Happy, Healthy and Safe, the Ministries of Health and Education, and peer educators and young people in rural Eastern Province, Zambia. The toolkit was tested by peer educators and revised on the basis of their experience and the lessons learned in monitoring. The toolkit was further developed with the Alliance Regional Youth Programme partners in Zimbabwe, Malawi and Zambia, and with the CORE Initiative in Uganda. We wish to acknowledge the ideas and creativity of all the practitioners who have developed the toolkit and those who have been developing participatory activities over many years and in many countries.
