Abstract:

The Participation Guide provides simple tips and tools to involve affected individuals and groups in the various stages of health and development communication programs. This Guide provides examples of how to include those most marginalized that a health or development communication program is meant to empower. These people could include low-income women of reproductive age, youth, orphans and vulnerable children, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA), or staff from organizations working with affected individuals or groups The Guide's intended audience includes program officers, program staff, and development practitioners interested in effectively involving those directly concerned in the health and development communication programs they support.
