Our toolkits are the products of collaborative efforts between K4Health and partner organizations around the world and are living repositories of quality, relevant, and useful information on various health-related topics. They respond to the expressed information needs from the field of health policy makers, program managers, and service providers.

They are based on a continuous publishing principle that ensures new information resources are collected and made accessible. This participatory approach ensures that toolkits are of the highest quality and can evolve after publication to capture additional resources and to identify and fill remaining information gaps.

In January 2005, USAID/Madagascar requested the Health Communication Partnership (HCP) to assist the Government of Madagascar, specifically its National AIDS Control Committee (SE/CNLS), to develop a behavior change communication strategy targeting HIV prevention among youth and young adults. The Ankoay, or Eagle, approach was launched in April 2005 through the National Scouting Federation which unites six scouting organizations. The Ankoay program was assessed by the SE/CNLS after one year of implementation and was judged a national “best practice” in HIV prevention among youth.
