This chapter considers these questions through reflection on two gender-based HIV education interventions in South Africa and Mozambique, which took place between 2001 and 2003.
This paper discusses the limitations of conventional Information, Education and Communication (IEC) approaches to HIV prevention and describes Stepping Stones, one approach which 1) is more holistic in recognising the location of HIV in a broader sexual and reproductive health (SRH) context; 2) emphasises the importance of a gendered perspective throughout; and 3) works on the basis that, with good facilitation, ordinary community members are those most able to develop the best solutions for their own sexual health needs.

The findings suggest that young people’s sexual norms are shaped by kin or authoritative elders as well as by external influences coming from Western culture. …

Ce Manuel vise principalement à contribuer à la conception et à l’exécution de programmes dans le domaine de la Santé Reproductive et du VIH/SIDA qui intègrent des approches de nature à parvenir à l’équité/l’égalité des genres. Les programmes qui intègrent ces objectifs ont pour effet de maximiser l’accès et la qualité, d’appuyer la prise de décisions par l’individu et ses options en matière de reproduction, d’accroître la pérennité et de mettre en pratique les engagements internationaux des Etats-Unis et les politiques de l’USAID.

Ceci dit, il se révélera d’autant plus utile qu’il servira à guider les décisions prises tout au long du cycle des projets
