The EDUCAIDS Overviews of Practical Resources provide guidance on the technical and operational aspects of this response. They are intended for technical staff, programme implementers and managers in ministries of education, technical staff in UN and other development cooperation agencies, and civil society partners. The secondary audiences of these Overviews are much broader and include school principals, educators, parents and communities. Each Overview provides an analysis and summary of approximately 20 reviewed and selected resources. Each Overview is introduced by a resource summary list and is followed by a two-page analysis of the included resources identifying crucial resource gaps, needs for further research, and websites for further information on the topic. The main content of the Overview is an annotated bibliography, and a half-page synopsis of each resource, its purpose and content, and how to access it. The resources in each Overview correspond to the five components of a comprehensive education sector response to HIV and AIDS.
