 Adolescents’ Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Curricular have been developed by TASO Training Center in conjunction with the Population Council.
While speaking during an interview, TASO’s Director for Capacity Development, Miss Juliana Nyombi, said the Adolescents’ curricular was three-fold: the counselor’s Manual, the Parent’s manual and the Adolescents Manual.
“We think this is very appropriate because the different manuals are going to empower Counselors and Parents to have fruitful dialogue with adolescents on one hand, and the other manual will give adolescents a lot of useful information about their lives,” said Juliana.
Juliana added that they had already finished pre-testing the curricular, gotten feed back from participants, and were in final stages of typesetting the manuals in preparation for mass distribution. She said she was contacting the Regional AIDS Training Network (RATN) so as to share the curricular with other member institutions.
