The articles in this "SIECUS Report" document the organization's involvement in the development of sexuality education programs around the world. Topics covered by the articles in this issue include efforts by the Bolivian Government to increase understanding and acceptance of family planning methods, work with the Soros Foundation to train teachers to teach health education, a sexuality education pilot project in Russia, development of a culturally sensitive sex education program in Indonesia, and life education for youth in India. In the year ahead, SIECUS will implement country-specific programs in Nigeria, Swaziland, Russia, and India aimed at establishing frameworks for reproductive health, family planning, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome prevention, and population education programs.
