ILO-FHI HIV/AIDS Behaviour Change Communication Toolkit for the Workplace



The ILO-FHI HIV/AIDS Behaviour Change Communication Toolkit for the Workplace provides a step-by-step approach, emphasizing prevention through education, gender awareness and practical support for behaviour change.

Its intended users are government authorities, employers' and workers' and their organizations, businesses, ILO/AIDS National Project Coordinators, national BCC consultants and collaborating NGOs. It is designed for those with little or no experience in communications planning.

It is divided into 7 pull-out booklets that can be used either separately to learn more about different elements of BCC, or jointly to design and implement a comprehensive BCC programme at the workplace:
Booklet 1: Overview of Behaviour Change Communication Programming for the Workplace - an overview of the contents of the toolkit, with an outline of the eight steps to follow in developing a BCC programme. It includes a case study from Kenya that illustrates the steps involved in the BCC process and shows how the toolkit can be applied in a specific workplace/ sector.
Booklet 2: Gathering Data for the Development of a Behaviour Change Communication Programme for the Workplace - a step-by-step guide to collecting the information needed to design BCC programmes ('formative assessment'), tailored to the needs and interests of the target group, including a generic protocol for data collection.
Booklet 3: Designing a Behaviour Change Communication Strategy - a detailed facilitators' guide to developing a strategy based on the formative assessment.
Booklet 4: Developing Materials for a Behaviour Change Communication Programme for the Workplace - how to develop a range of materials to support the BCC programme.
Booklet 5: Guide to Conducting Peer Education at the Workplace - a guide to training workers to carry out BCC and other prevention activities with co-workers. It includes tips for peer educators and sample training exercises.
Booklet 6: Tools for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Behaviour Change Communication Programme for the Workplace - includes tools to monitor progress and evaluate the impact of BCC objectives.
Booklet 7: Training in the Use of the Toolkit - provides facilitators with a guide to training BCC implementers on the use of the toolkit.

The Toolkit is now ready as a working draft: we see it as 'work in progress.' An action programme has been developed for its immediate use to implement BCC programmes in enterprises in the framework of the ILO/USDOL HIV/AIDS Workplace Education Programme. Changes will be introduced in the Toolkit once we have received feedback from those who have used it. We are also hoping to collect some case studies to give examples of good practice or as a way of sharing lessons learnt. We will decide in March 2006 how the Toolkit will be revised, packaged, printed and disseminated.

For the immediate future, the toolkit will only be available in electronic form. To provide more information about the Toolkit, Booklet I is available on the ILO/AIDS website. In order to keep track of its use, we are kindly asking those interested to submit a request if they wish to receive the entire Toolkit.
