This toolkit is a resource collection of participatory educational exercises designed for HIV educators, non-governmental organisations, and community groups. Based on research in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Zambia, this toolkit promotes actions to challenge HIV stigma and discrimination.

"The Toolkit was developed to provide people working in the AIDS field-especially the "front-line" workers-with a set of flexible educational materials to raise their own understanding and help them facilitate awareness raising with community groups. The aim is to help people at all levels understand stigma - what it means, why it is an important issue, what are its root causes - and develop strategies to challenge stigma and discrimination."
