This toolkit is designed to equip World Vision Area Development Programs to start, expand, and enhance HIV/AIDS responses. This toolkit is also intended to provide ADP staff with concrete assistance to achieve the FY05 goals for HIV/AIDS programming established by World Vision International.
This toolkit includes both practical programming guidance and a range of hands-on tools that ADP staff can apply in their contexts. The toolkit is based on the sound practices of HIV/AIDS programming developed by World Vision, as well as lessons learned by partners.
The primary intended users of the toolkit are ADP staff: ADP managers and coordinators, development facilitators, and other members of the ADP team. This toolkit is also intended to be of use to World Vision program staff and leadership in the national, regional, and global offices that support World Vision’s local level work. The toolkit is meant to be a resource for World Vision’s technical staff in support offices and regional offices. Finally, the toolkit is intended to be a helpful resource for other organizations interested in integrating and expanding HIV/AIDS responses within community development programming.
This edition of the toolkit is designed primarily for ADPs in African contexts, although much of its content is applicable in other regions as well. Editions designed specifically for use in Asia/Pacific, Latin America/Caribbean, and Middle East/Eastern Europe regions are in the works and will become available shortly. The current edition has been translated into Spanish and Portuguese.
