Lessons Learned
The social media/3D video has proven to be a
viable medium for promoting SRH information to
young people
Critical review and engagement of young people
from conceptualisation to production and
implementation improved the relevance,
acceptability and ownership
Communication tools are useful resource to
improve communication on sexuality issues
Lessons Learned
 Gender stereotype is a
strong barrier to girls’
access and utilisation of
condoms
 Knowledge and usage of
female condoms is still
low: several young women
& men have never seen or
used it
 Programme managers
must continually explore
and employ non-traditional
ways to reach young
people with SRH
information
