Tajikistan Country Report for the 2011-2012 Education Sector HIV and AIDS Global Progress Survey.

The number of people, including children, living with HIV keeps growing in the Russian Federation and other countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, which is the only region where HIV prevalence remains on the rise.

On 19 to 21 April 2011, Almaty (Kazakhstan) hosted the first regional conference Raising Effectiveness of Prevention Education for Adolescents and Youth in Central Asia & Eastern Europe.

This final report of a reproductive health project for adolescents in 4 villages in the district of Penjikent (north-western Tajikistan) summarizes 12 months of activities conducted from May 2009 to April 2010.

This is the annual report 2009 of AFEW, the NGO working with some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in Eastern Europe and Central Asia to adress one of the fastest growing HIV epidemics in the world.

This document is the Tajik version of an adaptable toolkit developed by UNESCO Bangkok in 2002. It was adapted in 2006 during a seminar in Tadkikistan. It aims at promotion of HIV & AIDS education and increasing awareness of the impact of HIV & AIDS on the Education sector.

Although HIV can strike anyone, it is not an equal opportunity virus. Gender inequality, poverty, lack of education and inadequate access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services continue to fuel the epidemic. This booklet will detail how and why prevention works.
