Community Outreach

Y.E.A.H’s materials and approaches are designed to reinforce factors that protect young people’s health; challenge negative social norms and mobilize communities and individuals to take action. A number of participatory materials have been produced for the Something for Something Love Campaign which address transactional sex and the Be a Man Campaign which is designed to challenge negative male gender norms.

Y.E.A.H uses a highly participatory strategic design process to develop all of its materials. This process ensures that the materials are based on research findings relevant to Uganda; are designed by and for young people and the people who impact young people’s health; that they are pre-tested and adequately evaluated for impact.

Most materials are produced in several local languages to ensure that they are useful to communities throughout Uganda. Read more about the participatory materials produced for each of the campaigns.
