Programme Planning for Adolescent Sexual & Reproductive Health Programmes

01-26 August 2005

Johannesburg, South Africa

Margaret Sanger Centre International South Africa is pleased to offer their second course for 2005:

Programme Planning for Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health focuses on building sound interventions for adolescent sexual and reproductive health designed to strengthen institutional capacity to effectively monitor programme operations and evaluate performance.

The nuts and bolts of programme planning are fused with adolescent-centred SRH concerns through an array of provocative and interactive sessions. HIV/AIDS interventions are situated within the context of healthy sexuality and appropriate technology. Learning is facilitated through lectures, case studies, group problem solving and individualised attention.  Emphasis is placed on participatory learning so instructors draw on the experiences of participants and their programmes.
