This Tool-kit for Action has two components. Part One provides a sample of youth and youth workers (based in Ottawa) discussing the effectiveness of prevention, education, and awareness strategies along with their ideas for effective youth-centered HIV/AIDS actions for the communities. Part Two looks at a range of for- and by-youth public education initiatives from Kenya, the US, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Canada. Included at the end of the report are pointers on what kinds of strategies and programmes have worked best over the past 20 years of HIV/AIDS practice.
