Working at the Community LevelGender equality work entails changes in men’s behaviors
In order to begin where men are at, you need to work at the community level
This means that you should begin by conducting a community assessment

Who can be reached?What group(s) or individuals is it essential for to reach to promote issues around gender, male engagement, and HIV?
How important is the targeted group in terms of meeting long term goals?
How feasible is it for your organization to reach this group? Are you already working with this group? If not, do you have easy access or connections to this group?
How open will this group be to your project activities?

Who is available to reach them?
• Who in the organization is available to participate in the activity?
Who in the organization has the appropriate expertise or experience to be the spokesperson for the activity? For example, should facilitators be men or women? Older or younger? From which ethnic group? And so on.
Who is the most appropriate person to connect with the target audience? Who will be accepted by the target audience?

What messages do you want to impart?

What outcomes do you want?When an activity hopes to affect change in behavior, facilitators hope to impact more than beliefs and attitudes. What specific outcomes does your organization intend to promote through its activity?
How will you know when these outcomes have been accomplished?

What other groups can be allies?
Are there any groups carrying out similar work? In the community? In the region? In the country?

What are the risks / challenges likely to be?
• What might act as ‘facilitators’ of success? How can these aspects of the activity be enhanced?

Best practices in working to engage young men in HIV and AIDS education include:• activities should be participatory
• activities should engage participants in experiential learning (analyzing their own behaviors activities should be relevant rather than being told ‘how’)
• activities should be relevant to participants; for example, consider whether they are single, dating or married. The best way to ensure relevance is to involve young men in the planning and implementation of activities

Project Design and AppraisalEnsure that gender equality is integrated into project goals and objectives.
Set clear targets that are realistic, quantifiable statements of expected outcomes against which actual project results can be measured.
Develop and select the “best” available data collection methods and decide on the timing of data collection.
Organize reporting and feedback processes that clearly identify who will collect and analyze information, when, and who will receive it, when.

Project Implementation• Carry out training or capacity development exercises for integrating, monitoring and evaluating gender-related issues.
During project supervision, collect gender-sensitive data based on the selected indicators, and monitor progress against targets set for the period under evaluation.
During quarterly or mid-term evaluation, assess progress and make corrections if needed to obtain expected gender-related outcomes.
