Mobilising a Response to HIV, Gender, Youth and Gender-Based Violence in South Africa: A Toolkit for Trainers and Programme Implementers

This toolkit was produced as part of the Sexual HIV Prevention Project (SHIPP) to support in-house training on gender, HIV, youth, and community mobilisation for programme implementers working on HIV and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention at the district and community levels. The toolkit modules cover a range of topics and can be selected based on organisational needs and specific knowledge gaps among staff and volunteers. According to the toolkit, "an advantage of the modular arrangement is that rather than having to set aside large blocks of time for training workshops, exercises and modules can be conducted on a stand-alone basis through sessions as short as two to three hours, or, if time permits, over a day or several days, or intermittently over a number of weeks or months." The toolkit also provides a detailed outline of the key principles and techniques of participatory learning.
The following topic areas are covered:

• Module 1: Gender concepts and definitions
• Module 2: Gender roles and change
• Module 3: GBV: intimate partner and non-partner domestic violence
• Module 4: Links between GBV and HIV
• Module 5: Gender and HIV policies
• Module 6: Gender analysis and engaging men and boys
• Module 7: Mobilising community action teams through community facilitators
• Module 8: Youth vulnerability, HIV and GBV
