<strong>The</strong> first edition <strong>of</strong> this manual was published in 2003 by the Joint Inter-agency<br />

Group on Young People’s Health Development and Protection in Europe and<br />

Nations Population Fund (<strong>UNFPA</strong>); <strong>UNFPA</strong> Division for Arab States and Europe;<br />

and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Regional Office for Central and<br />

Eastern Europe/Commonwealth <strong>of</strong> Independent States and Baltics.<br />

<strong>The</strong> core team <strong>of</strong> authors for the 2003 edition included Robert Zielony, Greta<br />

Kimzeke, Srdjan Stakic, and Maria de Bruyn. Aleksandar Bodiroza provided<br />

overall guidance, and Sue Pfiffner was the consulting editor. Special thanks are<br />

owed to the reviewers: David Clarke, United Nations Educational, Scientific, and<br />

<strong>The</strong> first edition <strong>of</strong> this manual was used extensively for two years in 27 countries<br />

across Eastern Europe and Central Asia and was translated into 15 languages,<br />

including Arabic. Development <strong>of</strong> the contents <strong>of</strong> this manual benefited from<br />

the enthusiasm <strong>of</strong> and feedback from all peer educators who participated in the<br />

regional and subregional training workshops implemented by the IAG from 2001<br />

through 2003 in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where the training activities<br />

described in this manual were field tested.<br />

<strong>The</strong> IAG is a United Nations inter-agency technical support group working to<br />

ensure that comprehensive rights-based approaches are used to support young<br />

people’s health and development. Formed in June 1999, IAG is composed <strong>of</strong> staff<br />

from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Secretariat,<br />

<strong>UNFPA</strong>, U.N. Drug Control Programme (UNDCP), U.N. Development Programme<br />

(UNDP), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Bank.<br />

This second edition <strong>of</strong> the manual has been revised based on feedback from<br />

trainers and participants and adapted to the needs <strong>of</strong> an even broader audience<br />

<strong>of</strong> peer educators. <strong>The</strong> manual is part <strong>of</strong> a package <strong>of</strong> peer education materials<br />

developed under the Youth Peer Initiative that will be made available through a<br />

partnership with <strong>UNFPA</strong> and FHI/YouthNet.<br />
