 AB    OBJECTIVES: During the NGO networking workshop of Gujarat, the grass
       root level NGOs wanted training workshops on HIV-AIDS. GAP-SIRMCE,
       responded to the call and organised such training workshops to train the
       trainers. METHODOLOGY: 12 workshops were held where 35 organisations
       both rural and urban took part. After assesing the base line knowledge
       about HIV and AIDS and drawing the expectations of the participants,
       three and half days workshops were organised to train the probable
       trainers. Different evaluation methodology were used to evaluate the
       effectiveness of such training programmes. RESULT: Assesement showed
       that, 80% of the volunteers from NGOs did not know many things about
       AIDS and there were lots of myths around. At the end of workshop
       achievements were evaluated and some major points came out like, a) they
       could talk about sex freely, b) learned to talk about HIV-AIDS, c) got
       confidence on themselves. CONCLUSION: Through such workshops NGO
       networking was strengthened and basic requirements for starting such
       programmes at local levels had been determined. GAP developed the
       educational materials which will be distributed to each participated
       organisation, which includes the manual for conduction such workshops.
       GAP learned a lot about the feelings and values of the people from rural
       areas about many issues around HIV and AIDS (oral sex, homosexuality,
       condom use). Talking such issues and giving the values to it gave the
       confidence to the facilitators.
