Harmful social norms about masculinity and femininity (such as expectations that men exert dominance over their partners and have multiple concurrent partnerships) are associated with high-risk sexual behavior. In Côte d'Ivoire, The RESPOND Project has provided technical assistance since 2008 to build the capacity of local and international organizations to use the Men As Partners® (MAP) approach to address these issues and engage men in HIV services. The MAP® approach stimulates dialogue around gender and encourages men and women to reject harmful norms and to promote those that protect health. The project uses MAP® trainings to build the capacity of PEPFAR partners to incorporate gender-transformative messages into ongoing prevention efforts and to build the capacity of facilities to engage men in HIV services, including HIV testing and the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
This report highlights the findings and recommendations from a midcourse process evaluation conducted in March 2013.
