African Youth HIV/AIDS Best Practices Handbook
African Youth HIV/AIDS Best Practices Handbook Launch, August 15, 2006 Toronto
ActALIVE (http://www.actalive.org), the Standing Committee on Reproductive Health and HIV/AIDS-International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA-SCORA, at www.ifmsa.org), and Development Partnership International (DPI)(http://www.developmentpartnership.org) are pleased to invite you to the formal launch of the first edition of the African Youth HIV/AIDS Best Practices Handbook.
The session is scheduled as follows:
Venue: Global Village Youth Pavilion, International AIDS Conference, Toronto
Date: Tuesday August 15, 2006
Time: 12.45- 2.15pm
The African Youth HIV/AIDS Best Practices Handbook is a compendium of 95 youth-led and youth-focused HIV/AIDS projects from 25 countries in Africa. It is intended to showcase the outstanding work of African youth to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, and to provide best-practices examples which can be replicated locally in Africa, and hopefully globally. This should help to encourage further education and prevention efforts, promote African youth leadership to curb the pandemic, and create as well as sustain opportunities for the participation of African youth in local, national, regional, and international efforts to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS. Use of the arts, media, and ICTs are all featured in the Handbook, as are some practices created and implemented with adult allies.
Kindly contact Adebayo Samuel adebayo@developmentpartnership.org or Dabesaki Mac-Ikemenjima dabesaki@developmentpartnership.org or call +234 84 751 002 for more information. We look forward to welcoming you at the launch.

Climate Change: Connections & Solutions
These 2-week curriculum units, one for middle and one for high school, encourage students to think critically about climate change and to collaborate to devise solutions. Students learn about climate change within a systems framework, examining interconnections among environmental, social, and economic issues.
The first week of each 2-week unit lays the foundation for understanding some of the forces behind climate change. Students learn basic scientific phenomena related to climate change, beginning with the carbon cycle and the greenhouse effect and concluding with an analysis of different fuel types.
The second week widens and deepens students’ comprehension of climate change with an exploration of its connections to various social, economic, and environmental factors. By the end of the unit, students will understand and be able to communicate complex and interconnected issues related to climate change.

Debating Globalization
Does globalization alleviate world poverty or contribute to it? Does it harm local culture or bring people together? Has free trade hurt the poor more than helped? What are globalization's effects on the environment and human rights? This book is a forum where dynamic youth from around the world debate these issues. Contained in this volume are provocative articles from both sides of this controversial debate.
"In these pages, we hear youth speak about what is right with globalization, what is wrong, and how diverse actors can join forces in ensuring tomorrow’s peace, security, and sustainability. I am happy to commend this book to anyone who wants to share the visions of our world’s youth on the important issues of our day."

Developing National Information and Communications Infrastructure (NICI) Policies, Plans and Strategies: the 'why' and 'how'
The emergence and convergence of information and communication technologies (ICT) remain at the centre of global social and economic transformations. The ICT sector is a gamut of industries and services activities – Internet service provision, telecommunications equipment and services, information technology (IT) equipment and services, media and broadcasting, libraries and documentation centres, commercial information providers, network-based information services and other related information and communication activities. These technological components which used to be accounted as separate activities have converged to characterise all aspects of ICTs. This has also led to the introduction of the concept of national information infrastructure (NII) or global information infrastructure (GII) defined as the "technologies, organisations, and capabilities that facilitate the production and use of ICTs" [1].
As a result, the definition of National Information and Communications Infrastructure (NICI) plans and strategies has become high on the agenda, and developing countries are confronted with the challenge to be responsive and flexible to the convergence of telecommunication, audio-visual and computing technologies. NICI plans and strategies need to reflect overall development priorities, redefine sectoral policies and support the introduction of new regulatory framework so as to improve the efficiency and to mobilise resources for building national information and communication infrastructure. Attempts are made in this paper to assess the ICT situation in African countries, to outline the pressing need to build-up NICI plans and strategies and the various steps to be taken to enable countries to be part of the information society.

GRADEL PRESENTATION
Notre vision
-La vulgarisation des nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication (NTIC) sera porteuse de nouvelles richesses si des mesures immédiates et importantes sont prises par nos gouvernements.
-Si le combat de la société civile a permis de fonder les bases du développement durable, aujourd’hui, cette même société civile ainsi que le gouvernement doivent soutenir les entreprises et les populations dans leur effort à intégrer les NTIC dans toutes leurs activités.
-Les entreprises et les gouvernements ont besoin d’expertise en développement en développement durable et en développement économique axées sur les NTIC offertes par des experts professionnels engagés, c’est-à-dire issus du secteur de la société civile.

GYCA World AIDS Report 2007
On December 1st, 2007, members of the Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS (GYCA) commemorated World AIDS Day with 104 local events in
34 countries. The goal of the events was to highlight the pressing need to build youth leadership and to listen to the voices of young leaders fighting HIV and AIDS in their communities. Despite the fact that 40% of the 2.5 million new infections each year occur in young people aged 15 to 24, young leaders are uniting to inspire others from our generation to take action against HIV and AIDS on our own terms - through street theater, care for AIDS orphans, peer education and work with young injecting drug users. GYCA events were organized in partnership with the World AIDS Campaign's "Take the Lead" World AIDS Day initiative.
In some countries, multiple events were held, often in collaboration with other organizations, networks, universities, and with local governments. GYCA members received an event organizing kit and materials from the World AIDS Campaign to prepare them for the day, and reported back on the proceedings with pictures and feedback from participants. We received reports from 48 individuals and organizations located in 21 different countries and are pleased to share with you a summary of their events.

Hacia el Objetivo del Milenio de Reducir la Pobreza en América Latina y el Caribe
El presente informe examina las condiciones en las cuales cada uno de 18 países de América Latina y el Caribe podrían alcanzar las metas de reducción de la pobreza que la Declaración del Milenio establece como uno de los Objetivos del Desarrollo del Milenio de las Naciones Unidas.
Los 18 países que se examinan en el informe son Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, la República Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela.
La interrogante que procura dilucidar el informe es si en el año 2015 cada uno de los 18 países habrá logrado disminuir a la mitad la tasa de pobreza extrema que registraba en 1999 (respecto de una línea internacional de pobreza que corresponde a la fijada originalmente, que era de un dólar diario, y de una línea de pobreza específica para cada país).

HIV/AIDS a Comprehensive approach
AIDS is being regarded as one of the most ravaging illness of all times. The fact that as at date there is no known cure, makes the virus more frightening than ever. The illness has been around for over 30 years, but it is a wonder that some people (youth in particular) are just hearing about it. Its origin is no longer of any consequence whether it is a punishment for our immorality or what ever it is, ceases to be of relevance as if now has as victims ,the most innocent i.e. babies and youths.
The AIDS crisis is now the crisis of the developing countries and the World, especially Africa. The clinical syndrome is the greatest enemy to this fatal and most devastating illness, as infected persons continue to spread the infection.
Behavioral change, Acceptance by those infected and their co-operation is the only way toward to fight the spread of this virus.

Mobilizing Billions to Fight AIDS in Africa: The Way Forward
A vastly expanded and well-funded multi-billion dollar response is needed to change the course of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa, through effective prevention, care and impact mitigation. The growing awareness of AIDS’ devastating impact and increasing political commitment provide a new opportunity for huge increases in funding and in the scale of the programmatic response to the pandemic. African leadership and financial commitment are required to meet this challenge, notwithstanding the weak fiscal situations in many of the worst affected countries in Africa. In this context, a major share of the required funds will have to come from external sources.
There remains today a huge gap between the estimated annual needs of $3-4 billion for HIV/AIDS and current annual expenditures of $0.3-0.4 billion.
Based on a preliminary examination of available data, it is proposed that the needs of Africa be met through a combination of increases in domestic and external financing.
On the domestic side, it is suggested that an amount of $0.8 to $1.6 billion could be mobilized, equivalent to 0.25-0.5 percent of GDP or 1-2 percent of what governments in Africa are currently spending.
The balance of $1.4 to $3.2 billion would be met through a combination of external grants (preferably) and concessional lending.
In this paper, indicative financial targets are proposed for the main institutions providing external support to HIV/AIDS in Africa – bilateral governments, multilateral banks, charitable foundations, and private companies – that together add up to about $2.5 billion annually.
Achieving these targets for increased financing from African governments and from external sources over the next three years is feasible, if all partners act simultaneously and cooperatively to mobilize the ten-fold increase in resources required.
There remains the need to develop rapidly the capacity of African institutions to use expanded financing for HIV/AIDS effectively. In this paper it is suggested that capacity building would be undertaken as part of the significant increase in funding, not as a precondition for it.
With explicit political commitment, backed by the allocation of domestic financial resources and major increases in external funding, Africa can make rapid progress to reverse the course of HIV/AIDS on the continent.

Opri]i munca copiilor Ap\rarea drepturilor copilului prin educa]ie, art\ [i mass media, Supporting children's rights through education, the arts, and the media (SCREAM): Education Pack (Romanian version)
Romanian version. The SCREAM programme offers a unique opportunity to engage a wide range of community actors and organizations in the promotion of social justice and universally recognized human and labour rights.
http://www.ilo.org/ipec/Campaignandadvocacy/Scream/index.htm
Munca copiilor este o form\ de exploatare a celor mai vulnerabili membri ai societ\]ii
– copiii. Se [tie c\ exist\ în lume peste 246 de milioane de copii sub vârsta de 18 ani
care muncesc. Aproape trei sferturi dintre ace[tia – aproape 180 de milioane –
muncesc în condi]ii periculoase, care le pun via]a în pericol. Mul]i sunt priva]i de
educa]ie [i sunt expu[i unor abuzuri fizice, sexuale [i afective. Unii dintre ei ajung s\
dobândeasc\ handicapuri fizice sau chiar s\ moar\ înainte de a deveni adul]i ca o
consecin]\ direct\ a muncii lor. Al]ii r\mân cu grave traume afective pentru toat\ via]a.
Pentru mul]i, munca copiilor este un fenomen invizibil, fie pentru c\ ace[tia au
ocupa]ii ascunse, cum ar fi muncile în gospod\rie [i prostitu]ia, fie pentru c\ societatea
este mult prea dispus\ s\ închid\ ochii. Prin m\rirea vizibilit\]ii copiilor care muncesc,
societatea se va putea dezb\ra de atitudinea indiferent\ pe care o are fa]\ de situa]ia
dificil\ a acestor copii.
Prin intermediul Programului Interna]ional pentru Eliminarea Muncii Copiilor (IPEC),
Organiza]ia Interna]ional\ a Muncii (OIM) este vârful de lance al luptei duse pe plan
interna]ional pentru eliminarea muncii copiilor. Deoarece cauzele muncii copiilor sunt
complexe [i multiple, problema trebuie s\ fie atacat\ pe mai multe fronturi, prin
ratificarea [i aplicarea conven]iilor interna]ionale, derularea unor programe practice pe
teren [i mobilizarea factorilor esen]iali din cadrul societ\]ii.
Tinerii, în mod deosebit, au un rol important de jucat în promovarea con[tientiz\rii
problemelor privind justi]ia social\ [i exercitarea unei influen]e asupra comunit\]ilor în
sensul promov\rii schimb\rilor sociale. De[i copiii, adolescen]ii [i tinerii reprezint\ o
parte important\ a popula]iei lumii, ace[tia nu prea au un cuvânt de spus despre modul
în care este condus\ lumea. Pân\ când ating vârsta adult\, îi model\m într-o asemenea
m\sur\ dup\ propriul nostru mod de a gândi, vedea [i face lucrurile, încât ajung s\
piard\ definitiv propria perspectiv\ pre]ioas\. Ajutându-i pe tineri s\ se afirme,
responsabilizându-i [i recunoscând valoarea contribu]iei lor, sper\m s\ putem valorifica
bogata lor creativitate [i angajamentul pe care îl pot pune în serviciul campaniei pentru
eliminarea muncii copiilor.
Prin urmare, IPEC a lansat o nou\ ini]iativ\ în domeniul educa]iei [i mobiliz\rii
sociale, “SCREAM Opri]i munca copiilor”, pentru a veni în ajutorul educatorilor din toat\
lumea în promovarea în]elegerii [i con[tientiz\rii problematicii muncii copiilor în rândul
tinerilor [i al comunit\]ilor în general. SCREAM (]ip\t) este acronimul denumirii
proiectului în limba englez\, Supporting Children’s Rights through Education, the Arts
and the Media (Ap\rarea Drepturilor Copilului prin Educa]ie, Art\ [i Mass Media),
reflectând în acela[i timp suferin]a t\cut\ a copiilor care muncesc [i necesitatea de a li
se face auzit\ vocea. Prin metode didactice creative [i inovatoare, programul SCREAM
vizeaz\ informarea tinerilor despre lumea în care tr\iesc [i nedrept\]ile din ea, punând
accent pe munca copiilor, astfel încât ei s\ poat\ vorbi la rândul lor în numele copiilor
care muncesc din lumea întreag\. Programul pune pe umerii tinerilor aceast\
r\spundere [i îi ajut\ s\ formuleze reac]iile corespunz\toare.
SCREAM se inspir\ în mare m\sur\ din artele vizuale, literatur\ [i teatru. Teatrul este
un instrument foarte puternic în ceea ce-i prive[te pe tineri. Teatrul vorbe[te un limbaj
universal care trece peste toate barierele geografice [i culturale [i care a fost utilizat
de-a lungul istoriei ca vehicul al criticii sociale. Prin urmare, programul promoveaz\
teatrul ca mijloc cu ajutorul c\ruia tinerii î[i pot explora sentimentele, le pot exprima
[i î[i pot transmite mesajul întregii comunit\]i. Pentru a în]elege cu adev\rat calvarul
cotidian prin care trec copiii care muncesc, oamenii trebuie s\ fie mi[ca]i în adâncul
fiin]ei lor. Cu ajutorul [i îndrumarea corespunz\toare, tinerii pot dobândi deprinderile [i
încrederea necesar\ pentru a crea [i monta propria lor pies\ de teatru, ]inând seama
de propriul lor mediu cultural [i social [i folosind propria limb\ sau propriul dialect.
Mul]i dintre partenerii no[tri împ\rt\[esc deja cu noi speran]a c\ programul SCREAM
va ajunge s\ fie utilizat pe scar\ larg\ în întreaga lume.
În numele lor [i al milioanelor de copii care continu\ s\ fie exploata]i prin munc\,
recomand\m programul SCREAM tuturor statelor membre, autorit\]ilor [colare,
organiza]iilor cadrelor didactice, organiza]iilor patronale [i sindicale, ONG-urilor [i
organiza]iilor comunitare, educatorilor [i profesorilor, precum [i tuturor organiza]iilor [i
persoanelor care au ocazia de a interac]iona cu tineri în orice context educativ. Pe
m\sur\ ce va fi utilizat, programul se va îmbun\t\]i [i se va consolida tot mai mult.
Prin urmare, haide]i s\-l utiliz\m!

SCREAM Halte au travail des enfants! La défense des droits des enfants
Les jeunes ont un rôle important à jouer dans les activités de sensibilisation relatives à la justice sociale et dans l’exercice de leur influence au sein de leurs communautés pour le changement social. Par la responsabilisation des jeunes, la reconnaissance de leur créativité et la mise en valeur de leur contribution, nous renforçons la portée de leur engagement à la campagne pour l’élimination du travail des enfants. A cette fin, l’IPEC a lancé une initiative sur l’éducation et la mobilisation sociale pour aider les enseignants du monde entier à comprendre et à promouvoir la prise de conscience sur le travail des enfants auprès des jeunes. «SCREAM, Halte au travail des enfants»

SCREAM Stop al Lavoro Minorile, Sostenere i Diritti dei Bambini attraverso l’Educazione, l’Arte ed i Media
Il lavoro minorile verte sullo sfruttamento della fascia più vulnerabile della nostra
società: i bambini. Sappiamo che sono oltre 246 milioni i ragazzi al di sotto dei 18
anni che ogni giorno, nel mondo, sono costretti a lavorare. Quasi tre quarti di essi,
vale a dire 180 milioni, si trovano in pericolo di vita. Molti vengono privati
dell’istruzione e sono vittime di abusi fisici, sessuali e psicologici. A causa del
lavoro cui sono costretti, alcuni subiscono traumi che li rendono invalidi e altri
muoiono prima di raggiungere l’età adulta. Altri rimangono segnati per il resto
della vita.
Per molti il fenomeno del lavoro minorile è invisibile o perché i bambini lavorano in
ambiti che sono invisibili, come il lavoro domestico e la prostituzione, o perché la
società preferisce non vedere. Rendere visibile la piaga del lavoro minorile aiuterà
la società a scuotersi dalla sua indifferenza.
Attraverso l’IPEC (Programma internazionale per l’eliminazione del lavoro
minorile), l’ILO (Organizzazione Internazionale del Lavoro) sta compiendo ogni
sforzo per far sì che il lavoro minorile divenga storia passata. Poiché le cause del
fenomeno sono molte e complesse, dobbiamo affrontare la questione su diversi
fronti, attraverso la ratifica e l’applicazione di convenzioni internazionali, nonché
di programmi che implicano la mobilitazione dei gruppi sociali più importanti.
I giovani in particolare svolgono un ruolo importante nella sensibilizzazione della
comunità di appartenenza rispetto alle questioni della giustizia sociale e sono in
grado di far sentire la propria influenza sui processi di cambiamento della società.
Sebbene i bambini, gli adolescenti e i giovani costituiscano una proporzione
significativa della popolazione del pianeta, gli viene lasciato loro ben poco spazio
per esprimere la loro opinione su come funziona il mondo. In questo modo, per
quando saranno diventati adulti, il loro modo di pensare e di agire sarà così
fortemente improntato al modello imposto dalla società che la preziosa
prospettiva delle loro riflessioni sarà andata perduta. Potenziando i giovani,
responsabilizzandoli e riconoscendo la validità del loro contributo, speriamo di
incanalarne la creatività e l’impegno nella campagna mondiale per l’eliminazione
del lavoro minorile.
Con questo presupposto, l’IPEC ha lanciato una nuova iniziativa di mobilitazione
socio-educativa, “SCREAM Stop Child Labour”, per aiutare gli educatori di tutto il
mondo a promuovere la comprensione e la sensibilizzazione riguardo al fenomeno
del lavoro minorile fra i giovani e le loro comunità di appartenenza. SCREAM è a
favore del supporto dei diritti dei bambini attraverso l’educazione, l’arte e i mezzi
di comunicazione, ma riflette anche il doloroso silenzio dei bambini lavoratori,
nonché la necessità di dar loro una voce. Attraverso metodi di insegnamento
innovativi e creativi, il programma SCREAM mira a informare i giovani del mondo
in cui vivono e delle ingiustizie esistenti, focalizzando l’attenzione sul lavoro
minorile in modo che essi possano a loro volta farsi ovunque portavoce dei
bambini lavoratori. Il programma vuole caricare i ragazzi di una responsabilità,
ma anche aiutarli a sviluppare una reazione adeguata.
SCREAM deve molta della sua ispirazione alle arti visive, alla letteratura e alla
recitazione. La drammatizzazione è un strumento particolarmente potente per
raggiungere i giovani. Il teatro parla una lingua universale, che trascende i confini
geografici e le barriere culturali. Inoltre, è stato sempre utilizzato, nella storia,
come veicolo di coesione sociale. Dunque, il programma promuove la recitazione e
la drammatizzazione come strumenti che i giovani possono utilizzare per esplorare i
propri sentimenti, esprimersi e rivolgere il proprio messaggio alla comunità. Per
un’autentica comprensione dell’orrore quotidiano che vivono i bambini lavoratori,
gli individui devono partire dal più fondamentale dei presupposti umani. Con l’aiuto
e la guida adeguati, i giovani possono acquisire strumenti e fiducia per creare e
mettere in scena una propria rappresentazione teatrale, ovviamente adeguata alla
loro condizione culturale e sociale, nonché al loro linguaggio e al loro gergo.
Molti dei nostri affiliati sperano, come noi, che SCREAM possa essere diffusamente
realizzato in tutto il mondo.
In nome loro e di milioni di bambini che ogni giorno vengono sfruttati,
raccomandiamo di adottare SCREAM a tutti gli Stati membri, alle autorità in
campo educativo, alle associazioni di insegnanti, imprenditori e lavoratori, alle
ONG e alle associazioni civili, agli educatori, nonché alle organizzazioni di
qualunque tipo e ai singoli individui che abbiano l’opportunità di interagire con i
giovani in ambito educativo. Si tratta di un programma destinato a migliorare e a
consolidarsi precisamente attraverso l’uso. Dunque, usiamolo!

SCREAM ¡Alto al trabajo infantil! Defensa de los derechos del niño a través de la educación, las artes y los medios de comunicación
El trabajo infantil es sinónimo de explotación de los seres más vulnerables de nuestra
sociedad: las niñas y los niños. Sabemos que en el mundo hay más de 245 millones
de niñas y niños menores de 18 años que cada día van a trabajar. Aproximadamente
las tres cuartas partes –casi 180 millones– lo hacen en condiciones peligrosas que
ponen en peligro su vida. En muchos casos, se les priva de educación y son
víctimas de vejaciones físicas, sexuales y emocionales. A raíz del trabajo que
hacen, algunos quedarán discapacitados físicamente o perecerán antes de llegar a
la edad adulta. Otros sufrirán de traumas emocionales por el resto de su vida.
Para muchos, el trabajo infantil es un fenómeno invisible ya sea porque se oculta,
como en el caso del servicio doméstico o la explotación sexual con fines comerciales,
o bien, porque la sociedad está demasiado predispuesta a hacer como que no ve.
Dar visibilidad a las niñas y los niños que trabajan contribuirá a que la sociedad
deje de ser indiferente al drama que viven.
A través del Programa Internacional para la Erradicación del Trabajo Infantil,
conocido por la sigla en inglés IPEC, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo
(OIT) está a la vanguardia de los esfuerzos mundiales para terminar con este
problema. Dado que las causas del trabajo infantil son numerosas y complejas,
tenemos que abordar la cuestión en diversos frentes que van de la ratificación y
aplicación de los convenios y convenciones internacionales a programas prácticos
en el terreno, pasando por la movilización de sectores clave de la sociedad.
Los jóvenes, en particular, pueden desempeñar un papel importante para
concienciar* sobre cuestiones relativas a la justicia social y ejercer su influencia
en las comunidades, promoviendo el cambio social. Niñas, niños y adolescentes y
jóvenes representan una proporción significativa de la población mundial, pero se
les dan muy pocas oportunidades de decir lo que piensan acerca de cómo va el
mundo. De ahí que cuando llegan a la edad adulta, les hayamos inculcado nuestra
manera de ver, de pensar y de actuar, a tal punto, que la valiosa perspectiva que
podían aportar ha caído en el olvido. Capacitando a los jóvenes, atribuyéndoles
tareas y reconociendo el valor de su aporte, esperamos encauzar el acerbo de
creatividad y el empeño que pueden aportar a la campaña por la erradicación del
trabajo infantil.
Habida cuenta de lo antedicho, el IPEC lanzó la iniciativa ¡Alto al trabajo infantil!
Proyecto SCREAM de formación y movilización social, para ayudar a docentes de
todo el mundo a instruir y concienciar a los jóvenes acerca del trabajo infantil.
SCREAM es la sigla en inglés de Supporting Children's Rights through Education,
the Arts and the Media (Defensa de los derechos del niño a través de la educación,
las artes y los medios de comunicación) y también traduce el sufrimiento que
soportan en silencio los niños que trabajan y a quienes hay que dar voz. Utilizando
métodos pedagógicos creativos e innovadores, se pretende informar a los jóvenes
sobre el mundo en el que viven y las injusticias que existen, haciendo hincapié en
el trabajo infantil, para que ellos, a su vez, sean portavoces de las niñas y los
niños que trabajan en todas partes del mundo. A través de este proyecto, se les
asignan tareas y se les apoya en la búsqueda de intervenciones apropiadas.
El Proyecto SCREAM se inspira en gran medida de las artes plásticas, el arte
dramático y la redacción creativa. El arte dramático es una herramienta idónea
para llegar a los jóvenes. Su lenguaje es universal y trasciende las fronteras
geográficas y culturales. A través de los módulos Escenificación y Arte dramático,
el Proyecto SCREAM promueve la interpretación como medio de que los jóvenes
exploren sus sentimientos, los expresen, y transmitan su mensaje al resto de la
comunidad. Para comprender cabalmente el horror cotidiano del trabajo infantil,
hay que llegar a la fibra más profunda del ser humano. Si se les brinda ayuda y
orientación, los jóvenes adquieren las competencias y la confianza necesarias
para crear y representar una obra de teatro acorde con su contexto sociocultural y
en su propio idioma o dialecto.
Muchos de nuestros asociados comparten nuestra esperanza de que el Proyecto
SCREAM se utilice ampliamente en todas partes del mundo.
En su nombre y en nombre de los millones de niños que siguen siendo explotados
en el trabajo, lo recomendamos a Estados Miembros, autoridades de educación,
organizaciones de docentes, organizaciones de empleadores, organizaciones de
trabajadores, ONG y organizaciones comunitarias, maestros y educadores, así
como a toda persona u organización que tiene contacto con niñas y niños en un
contexto educativo. El Proyecto SCREAM crecerá mejor y con mayor vigor gracias
a su utilización, entonces, ¡usémoslo!

In many parts of the world, sex workers have been among the groups most vulnerable to and most affected by HIV since the beginning of the AIDS pandemic. After more than a decade of research and intervention in sex work settings there is a substantial body of knowledge on the behaviours that put sex workers, their clients and regular partners at risk and on the contextual factors that create vulnerability to HIV/AIDS.

Status of Youth in Embu

THE AFRICAN CONSENSUS AND PLAN OF ACTION: LEADERSHIP TO OVERCOME HIV/AIDS
Now is the decisive moment in Africa’s struggle to overcome the continent-wide threat of HIV/AIDS. Success in overcoming the HIV/AIDS pandemic demands an exceptional personal, moral, political and social commitment on the part of every African. Leadership in the family, the community, the workplace, schools, civil society, government and at an international level is needed to halt the preventable spread of HIV/AIDS, and to provide a decent life for all citizens of Africa. Each and every one of the leadership acts necessary to prevent HIV/AIDS and to help those living with HIV/AIDS, without exception, are things we want anyway for a better, more developed Africa, and must be implemented in full and without delay.
Much has been achieved. Many African communities and several entire nations have shown that it is possible to contain and reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS. Success is a reality in many places and is possible across the continent. The Africa Development Forum 2000 is a breakthrough. It represents a watershed in national leaders’ readiness to address intimate personal beliefs and behaviour in a public and political manner. It marks an unprecedented collective commitment to the struggle against HIV/AIDS. With the required resources and the right leadership at all levels, we will win. Too much time has been wasted. Too many lives have been lost. Now is the moment.

The Case for Investing in Young People
This publication focuses on national efforts to reduce poverty and presents seven arguments for why national public policy makers should give more attention to young people, if these efforts are to be successful. This paper offers a conceptual framework to work out what arguments and supporting evidence in relation to young people are likely to be most appropriate to apply in the context of developing or refining a national poverty reduction strategy.

Young people play a crucial role in the prospect for development and should be included in every National Development Plan for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). But reality shows that attention to youth has not been enough and more needs to be done to make sure that special attention is given to young people, especially with regards to education, employment and health. The signed Millennium Declaration by Governments promising to “free men, women and children from the dehumanizing conditions of
extreme poverty”, committing developed and developing countries alike to eight
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will need an integrated participatory process from all sectors. In view of this the youth has a pivotal role to play in community development to achieving the MDGs by 2015 but the question is: up to which extent do young people actually take up community development
initiatives?
To this effect a day Training Seminar was convened to celebrate the Global Youth Service Day, With the objective, To create awareness about the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) achievable by 2015 and develop the concept civic engagement;
Train the Youth on their role in achieving the MDGs through community involvement.
Finally, Participants at the end of the training were to initiate community based projects for implementation.

The state of youth in Nigeria
Nigeria has what it takes to bring up great youth: youth in industry, youth in politic, development and youth in economics, etc. These youth has an important role in the future of our nation. However, today our streets are littered with the young who suffer the indignity of begging for bread crusts in order to stay alive. It is no news that there is an epidemical phenomenon of street children who are reared on free-range system. Child prostitution and mass destitution of the young. There is a high rate of drop-out amongst our young people from different institutions of learning on pecuniary grounds. Most of these drop-outs often end up in urban centres in search of menial jobs. Some other end – up on the streets, high way junctions, and traffic lights hawking different items as “mobile super markets”.

Time to Cut African Hunger
The challenge of reducing hunger and
poverty in Africa is formidable. Despite
pledges by Africa and the industrialized
countries at the 1996 World Food Summit
to cut hunger in half by 2015, little progress has been made. But there are reasons to believe that these trends can change, even in the near future. The events of September 11 have caused the world to consider how factors such as poverty and hunger can create breeding grounds for global instability. Conditions in Africa are also improving in many respects. A number of countries are making solid progress in governance and economic reform. New markets are opening and new technology is becoming available that will allow greater growth in agriculture and the rural sector in Africa. These factors offer renewed hope that,working together,we can reduce African poverty and hunger.

Transit Teaching Kit
The Transit Teaching Kit has been created to be used with the film Transit. It is made for teachers, peer educators, youth leaders, anybody really who works with young people ages 15-25. If you're a young person yourself, you can always download the kit and show it to your teacher, or bring it to your youth group and ask them to use it. All you need is the kit and send us an e-mail to ask a copy of the film Transit, which we will send to you at no cost.
The lesson plans in the kit are easy, informative, and don't require experienced teachers. All of the lessons expand on critical issues touched upon in the film Transit. This kit helps to explore those issues and how they relate to young people's lives in a structured and informative manner. These discussions will raise awareness about HIV and encourage the empowerement of individuals' decision-making-two necessary tools to help combat the spread of HIV and AIDS in our communities.

Une société en déficit humain
Un Rapport de 29 pages sur les conséquences sociales de l'appauvrissement, publié par Centraide Québec
Un million de personnes habitent dans la grande région de Québec et de Chaudière-Appalaches.
De ce nombre, 180 000 vivent actuellement, en 1998, sous le seuil de faible revenu; le tiers d’entre
elles, soit 60 000, doivent être considérées comme très pauvres 2. C’est principalement auprès
de ces personnes qu’oeuvrent les organismes communautaires appuyés par Centraide Québec.
La pauvreté, c’est la privation. Quand on est pauvre, on est toujours privé de quelque chose :
d’aliments, de confort, voire de soins, d’information, d’instruction, parfois même de ce qui est
considéré comme le minimum nécessaire.

United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most ratified document in the UN's history. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, often referred to as CRC or UNCRC, is an international convention setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of children. Nations that ratify this international convention are bound by it by international law. Compliance is monitored by the United Nations' Committee on the Rights of the Child which is composed of members from countries around the world. Once a year, the Committee submits a report to the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly, which also hears a statement from the CRC Chair, and the Assembly adopts a Resolution on the Rights of the Child.[1]
Governments of countries that have ratified the Convention are required to report to, and appear before, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child periodically to be examined on their progress with regards to the advancement of the implementation of the Convention and the status of child rights in their country. Their reports and the committee's written views and concerns are available on the committee's website.
All member nation states (countries) of the United Nations, except the United States and Somalia,[2] have ratified it. The United Nations General Assembly agreed to adopt the Convention into international law as an advisory resolution on November 20, 1989; it came into force on September 2, 1990, after it was ratified by the required number of nations. The Convention generally defines a child as any person under the age of 18, unless an earlier age of majority is recognized by a country's law.
