N2  - The TANESA Project has developed an easily replicable "mapping" intervention to assist communities in identifying and addressing risk situations for HIV/sexually transmitted disease (STD) infection and sexual violence. Some of the identified risk situations include drinking habits and alcoholism, exchanging sex for gift and money, lack of condoms, inadequate community efforts against sexual abuse and violence, and lack of parental guidance or participation of fathers in educating their children. The mapping approach also allows the participants to propose solutions to the problems they have identified and discuss these with community leaders so that the whole community would take action to address HIV/STDs. To ensure effectiveness of the program, a follow-up is undertaken by a multi-sectoral team composed of representatives from the district council, agricultural extension, community development, as well as representatives from the health and planning departments.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
