Facilitator's Guide for Training on HIV and AIDS Stigma and Discrimination Reduction

This guide, published by the Christian Council of Ghana (CCG) and World Association for Christian Communication (WACC), is designed to build the capacity of community members to enable them to lead a campaign on stigma reduction in their communities.

According to the publishers, the guide can be used as a generic manual for any training to address HIV- and AIDS-related stigma and discrimination. The guide is designed for participatory learning which encourages learning through: doing, sharing feelings, concerns, and experiences; discussing and analysing issues; solving problems; and planning and taking actions.

The guide lays out a systematic strategy for workshop discussions on issues such as moral judgments, stigmatising religious practices, and coping with stigma. It also includes illustrations on forms of stigma and discrimination adapted to an African social reality.

The project is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) through the Civil Society Challenge Fund initiative.
