Targeted transportation workers will receive training and will in turn become advocates of safe sex and HIV stigma reduction, affecting thousands of people in Nepal.
The project is designed with two aspects that will incorporate components of behavioral change communications and mass awareness. In the component of behavioral change communications, a specific manual will be developed to train 700 mobile transportation workers of 15 different districts.
