In many African countries,
the public knows very little about reproductive health
including HIV/AIDS and female genital cutting. The government
is often unable or unwilling to introduce new policies
to deal with these problems.
Recently, the MEASURE project
helped networks of newspaper and radio editors to expand
coverage of key reproductive health issues in West Africa.
In 2001, Mali’s network held its first national
seminar on “AIDS and Young People” attended
by over 60 journalists, Ministry of Health officials,
experts, donors, and youth peer educators.
