OUR WORK
Peer education is the most common and popular method used to prevent HIV and improve reproductive health of young people among youth serving NGOs. While most donors and program managers agree that peer education is an appropriate approach to meet the needs of young people, there has been
inconsistent evidence from research and varied methods used in the field. The network was initiated to ensure collaboration and partnerships among stakeholders and reduce competition for resources and duplication of efforts. More so it was created to promote involvement of key populations who face challenges in accessing reproductive health services such as the MSMs, youth with disability and youth living with HIV. ISHTAR MSMs, Positive youth initiative and NADIP are youth serving organizations in the network. A voice for the voiceless! |
