HIV/AIDS ProgrammeCountry

Programme SummaryCommunication StrategiesThe programme uses mostly interpersonal communication to reach girls with information on HIV/AIDS, unwanted pregnancy, delaying first sexual intercourse, fidelity, and other gender-related issues. Communication tools used include video, music, and theatre. IOM also trains peer educators and organises debates in local languages. Organisers comment that, at these discussions, "girls are more open when there are no men present." Before talking to the girls, the organisers obtain permission from village elders and parents. Sport is also used as a tool to build a sense of camaraderie among girls, helping them to “organise themselves, to be more self confident" as they learn about how to make empowering choices about their bodies and futures. The project's 10 soccer teams participate in competitions with young female players in neighbouring villages. The HIV/AIDS team provides soccer training each time it visits the teams, while also organising debates and video sessions about HIV/AIDS and reproductive health with the girls after the game.
