AB OBJECTIVES: In order to extend geographically and carry on actions on
AIDS sensitization, ENDA has been training relays who are able to spread
information on AIDS within community-based (CB) groups in a permanent
and culturally accurate way. METHODS: ENDA has been developing actions
on AIDS sensitization in partnership with many CB organizations (women,
youth, rural and urban communities...) wishing to be involved in
spreading of information on AIDS and promoting behaviour change. We ask
the most dynamic among them to identify inside their community, literate
and very motivated persons we will train. A guide-line for relays and a
booklet for trainers are already designed. RESULTS: Eleven training
sessions gathering 216 leaders in their communities, have been performed
during a pilot phase from January 1993 to February 1994. Among relays
are actors, educators and community leaders. They have in common their
dynamism and involvement in their community. After the training session,
each relay elaborates a programme of activities which aims at informing
adequately their communities. Up to now, the evaluation follow up (eight
sessions has showed that the relays have acquired the knowledge provided
in these sessions. The evaluation of other training sessions will be
presented. THE RELAYS FORUM: To intensify the fight against AIDS,
concerted actions within the community, valorization and capitalization
of activities have been undertaken by relays. They have set up a relays
forum in February 1994, to coordinate their activities. The results of
which will be presented. CONCLUSION: To reach behaviour change, the
training of relays belonging to the communities themselves may be an
appropriate method to vehicle messages culturally adequate. It will help
identify new indicators to behaviour change. The setting-up of a forum
of relays seems to foster a dynamic capable of developing their
initiatives and of strenthening their motivations.
