Notebook for Community Workers in Southern Africa

excellent work by supporting individuals and communities to improve their HIV treatment
literacy. We want to know your experiences-Share your best practices on Community
Preparedness and Treatment Literacy with the region!
SAfAIDS is inviting all individuals and organisations with experience in Community
Preparedness and Treatment Literacy to submit an article for publication in the ASK
Notebook.
The ASK Notebook is a bi-annual publication, which aims to improve the knowledge base
of community-based organizations/networks/groups and community members on specific ART
related themes. It is an interactive and vibrant Notebook that also seeks to provide a
platform for sharing innovative initiatives, experiences, successes, challenges and
research relevant for practical application and informed decision-making. The ASK Notebook
serves as a resource for People Living with HIV and AIDS, implementing organisations
(including FBOs, CBOs, ASOs), communities and other stakeholders (including community
leaders and policy makers).
