The project aimed at establishing and improving different range of strategies and practices women prison fraternity can use to identify, represent, distribute and enable adoption of insights and experiences of HIV prevention among inmates. Women prison has volumes of data, information and knowledge that are often unrecognized or documented due to inadequate skills, yet they can influence policy and practice within HIV and AIDS programming.
What locality or neighborhood will your project focus on?
Describe the specific community with whom you will be working.
What kinds of news, stories and other content will be created?
The project will involve women prison fraternity to provide human interest stories which are personal testimonies on how HIV/AIDS and Women Reproductive Health projects in prison are changing their lives. The vision is a Healthy women prison fraternity with Zero Tolerance on HIV Infection, Stigma and Discrimination. The media output will be tacit knowledge made to explicit on video recording, newsletters with photographs and social networking
What technologies and digital tools do you plan to use in the trainings?
Describe the connections that you or your organization have already established that will contribute to the success of the project.
CLREAD has developed working partnership with Kodiaga Women Prison where the project will be implemented. The organization has been conducting projects on Women reproductive health, HIV/AIDS prevention and Behavior Change Communication since 2010. Knowledge management is a project strategy the women prisoners realized that is missing and could help in information retention and sustaining the progress made in HIV/AIDS prevention in prison.
How many participants do you think will be involved in your project?
The project will train 100 women prisoners and 50 prison officers. Being that the project is targeting women prisoners and the prison officers, the training site will be within Kodiaga women prison and their participation is guaranteed because both the inmates and officers live within the some community.
Besides the microgrant funding, what other resources and support are you seeking for your project to ensure its success?
Rising Voices can provide capacity building, different I.E.C materials and linkages with other like minded institutions to create project visibility and enhancing both local, regional and international networking and collaboration
