Guide to Participatory Production of Resources for HIV Prevention among vulnerable populations

This unique methodology was developed during a series of workshops in Asia Pacific in which peer educators and professional HIV workers worked together to design, develop and produce materials including short films, performances, poster presentations, flip-charts, and condom packaging. Each product addresses a key theme such as stigma and discrimination, HIV and sexual health awareness, improved access to services and policy issues.

By involving people from the community as producers of information, rather than just consumers, this process produces materials that are appropriate for local needs, culture and context and are owned by the local community. This methodology can also have other outcomes such as challenging stigma, building ‘key population’ technical capacity and team-building.
