Chapter A: Introduction What is this <strong>Guide</strong>? This guide is a tool <strong>for</strong> civil society organizations and organizations of people living with HIV to improve women’s access to health care among communities hard-hit by the AIDS epidemic. The guide is designed to help these organizations facilitate community assessments on women’s health care, using participatory methods that involve not only members of the community, but also parliamentarians who may be sympathetic to but lack comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the plight of their women constituents who are struggling with the dual challenge of living with AIDS and having inadequate health care. Through the process of conducting the community assessment, both the service organizations and the parliamentarians emerge with better in<strong>for</strong>mation about and a more comprehensive understanding of the issues women face, thus equipping them with the in<strong>for</strong>mation they need to lobby and organize <strong>for</strong> change. The guide provides in<strong>for</strong>mation and practical tools on how to conduct community assessments on women’s health. It includes lessons drawn from the Parliamentarians <strong>for</strong> Women’s Health project’s experience in conducting community assessments in Kenya and Namibia. The guide consists of four chapters and an Annex: Chapter A B C D Annex Contents Introduction to the manual and the community assessment (CA) process Step-by-step guide on how to plan and prepare <strong>for</strong> the CA process Session-by-session guide on how to facilitate CA workshops <strong>for</strong> specific groups of community members, and a joint community workshop Description of the techniques to facilitate and document the workshops Fact Sheets.
