CONFERENCES/ EVENTS/ RESEARCH/ RESOURCES:
PlusNews Weekly Issue 209, 26 November 2004


1. Sex Education (Pleasure-focused Training of Trainers)

In preparation for a pleasure-focused training of trainers initiative to be co-sponsored by The Pleasure Project, CARE International and CARE Cambodia, The Pleasure Project is collecting information about any programmes, literature, research studies, training information or tools/techniques that use pleasure as a primary motivational force (preferably in resource-poor settings).

These examples will also form part of a global mapping resource of pleasure-focused sex education and programming.

If you know of any projects/programmes/tools that fit this description, please contact the Project about them.

2. Synergy HIV/AIDS Online Resource Centre

The Synergy Project provides technical assistance and services to the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to design, evaluate and coordinate HIV/AIDS programmes, and identify and disseminate lessons learned from these programmes.

Synergy's online resource centre contains more than 3,400 documents relevant to HIV/AIDS project management, research, and reproductive health.

Global users can now sign up to receive a monthly e-alert detailing new resources and/or search the collection by title, author, technical area or country. Where available, users can also download PDFs of many documents.
