Welcome to the CIDA-funded Reducing HIV Stigma by Education - Ghana project website.
The goal of this University Partnership in Cooperation and Development (UPCD) project is to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS and associated stigmatization through education of school children and youth.
Strengthening institutional capacity to prepare teachers and community-based youth facilitators to convey the facts and discuss the issues that obscure the reality of HIV/AIDS will help reach the very population that needs to know how to survive in communities of increasing risk.
To achieve this goal, the project includes three major universities in Ghana to develop effective course materials and instructional methods for school teachers and community youth facilitators. These universities are the University of Ghana, the University of Cape Coast and University of Education, Winneba.
