Course on programming for HIV/AIDS
|
Of all the new sexually transmitted infections, about 60% occur among young people between 10 and 24 years of age. Teenage pregnancies and abortion are other key reproductive health problems in South and South-East Asia region.
Large gaps in knowledge, understanding and in access to HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and services have been identified as major factors for vulnerability of young people to these risks. To bridge these gaps and to scale up HIV/AIDS and SRH programming, Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR), in collaboration with WHO and UNFPA is organising an international training course on Programming for HIV/AIDS and Reproductive Health of Young People in South and South-East Asia from May 5-16, 2008 in Jaipur, India.

Programme Contents The course will focus on the following three thematic clusters: • Technical cluster: Regional and country situation, global and regional policies, strategies and framework for the HIV/AIDS and SRH planning. • Programming: Situation and gap analysis using Mapping Adolescents Programming and Measurement (MAPM) for developing operational plans, planning for strategic communication, linkage and partnership, capacity building, monitoring and evaluation. • Effective Management: Partnership and stakeholder management, supportive supervision, youth friendly health services, financial resources, medicine and supply management.
