About the product
ESCAP developed this training kit to support the efforts of Governments, civil society institutions and youth work personnel engaged in training young people on health issues. Its purpose is to provide them with material to train young people to be peer educators on two interrelated and critical health issues that they face in the region, namely, HIV/AIDS and substance use. The primary targets for the training kit are facilitators who train peer educators on HIV/AIDS prevention among youth. Peer educators who conduct field sessions with youth groups may also use most of the exercises.
