Community and youth dissemination workshops
Dates: 5-7th of March and 22nd and 23rd of March 2014
Venue: Community centers in Manicaland Province
Two dissemination workshops were carried out in each of the three study communities in order to feedback research findings to the community and give study participants the possibility of commenting and elaborating on these. This included a workshop with adult community members and a workshop with youth. Participants were selected on their roles in the community as linked to HIV/AIDS, wellfare provision to orphaned and vulnerable children as well as their participation in the study. These included village heads, Community Care Givers, Village Health Workers, teachers (primary and secondary), clinic representatives, School Development Committee representatives, community group representatives, i.e. burial societies, youth groups, church groups, HIV&AIDS community groups. Research findings were presented in Shona by colleagues from BRTI and were well received by workshop participants, who confirmed that these resonated with their experiences on the ground. Based on the workshops, leaflets were produced and made publicly available.
All six workshops were incredibly successful with high attendance turnout, very rich engaged discussions and participants expressing high appreciation of the events. See full summary of input received at these workshops in the stakeholder report.
