‘Understanding and challenging TB stigma’ has been developed in response to the need to address TB stigma especially where TB and HIV co-infection rates are high. The publication contains a range of participatory games, exercises and picture tools to help address TB stigma, suitable for a range of contexts and settings. It was written by and for trainers and will help trainers plan and organise participatory educational sessions with community leaders or organised groups to raise awareness and promote practical action to challenge HIV and TB stigma and discrimination. This toolkit was developed as part of the Alliance Africa regional stigma training programme through a partnership with ZAMBART (Zambia AIDS-Related Tuberculosis project) Project in Zambia involving participatory workshops with health-workers, people living with HIV and ex-TB patients. Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) and the European Union were the main funders that supported the development of this toolkit. This toolkit includes 19 participatory exercises with clear and easy to follow instructions aimed at exploring different issues related to TB and stigma:
This toolkit is primarily intended for use by NGO support programmes in Africa who are working on, or intend to work on TB and HIV related issues.
