HIV/AIDS Teaching/Learning Materials in Asia and the Pacific, An Inventory: Issue 1, 2002

This package is the fourth of a series of repackaged products aimed to serve as a vehicle for alerting our users to a wealth of highly valuable educational resources that exist in the field of HIV/AIDS in the context of adolescent reproductive and sexual health. The purpose of the UNESCO Regional Clearing House’s repackaging programme is to bring to the attention of the users valuable information which would never have been read simply because they seem not to be easily accessible. Very few probably know where they are located; or if they can be accessed, they come in either highly technical or unreadable language or understandably, in the national language. Very often, they also come in overwhelming volumes and very poor presentation that discourage reading.

The information consolidation and repackaging strategy of the UNESCO Regional Clearing House addresses this potential waste of resources by reviewing, analysing and selecting the most useful and relevant information, screening out poor information, processing them into more readable language culling out policy and practice implications and repackaging them into various attractive formats that would render themselves easily readable and applicable to decision-making and programme improvements.
