Social and Behavior Change Tools for Female Sex Workers

Published by FHI360, this toolkit of social and behaviour change tools was designed by the Strengthening HIV/AIDS Response Partnership and Evidenced-Based Results (SHARPER) project in Ghana to help reduce HIV transmission among female sex workers and build leadership skills among women.

These tools for sex workers includes:

• Training Manual for Peer Educators of Female Sex Workers in HIV and AIDS Prevention
• Toolkit for Peer Educators
• HIV and AIDS Information Sheet
• Testimonial: Condom use
• Testimonial: Voluntary Counselling and Testing
• Testimonial: Sexually Transmitted Infections

Overall, the SHARPER Project, funded by the United States Agency for International Development, seeks to reduce HIV transmission among Ghana's most-at-risk populations, including people living with HIV and their sex partners, female and male sex workers, and men who have sex with men. The project, operating in 30 districts with high HIV prevalence, aims to reach 178,000 individuals with health behaviour messages and improved access to health services.
