Involvement of<br />

<strong>Project</strong> activities<br />
In a preliminary phase the objective of the<br />
project was to use PEs at schools to also<br />
reach out to the communities. Support of the<br />
community to the PEs was<br />
however limited, their work<br />
was misunderstood and it<br />
was regarded as inappropriate<br />
for youth to talk about issues<br />
related to <strong>HIV</strong> and SRH to<br />
their seniors and elders at<br />
home or other older people in<br />
the community. Public IEC<br />
events such as street drama<br />
contributed to removing some barriers.<br />
Another approach was to directly include the<br />
community and shift the responsibility of<br />
sensitizing other adult community members<br />
to women groups.<br />
