Hands On! A Manual for Working with Youth on Sexual and Reproductive Health

Currently, GTZ is supporting some 40 projects addressing adolescent sexual and reproductive Health (SRH) at different levels and scales in the contexts of health, education or youth promotion and with a special focus on prevention. The experiences drawn from such interventions have been compiled by GTZ's supraregional project in a manual to disseminate lessons learnt. This manual lays out methods and approaches to support people working with young people in the development and implementation of SRH measures. It consists of 16 papers written largely by practitioners from the field with a focus on giving examples and checklists.

Part one: Methods - consists of a step-by-step guide to a situation analysis, description of methods for baseline data collection, tools for participatory rapid appraisal, a chapter on action research and indicators for monitoring and evaluation.

Part two: Approaches - contains checklists for peer education and youth-friendly services, guidelines for the development of IEC material, theatre plays, or sports activities, and how to support youth organisations and cross-sectoral networking.
