IBE develops its capacity-building programme for HIV & AIDS education in partnership with the field and in the framework of EDUCAIDS and the UNESCO strategy for HIV & AIDS Education. IBE works as well as in close collaboration with Ministries of Education, UNAIDS co-sponsors and UNESCO education sector. IBE also actively participates in multi-agency efforts lead by UNAIDS.

Concretely, IBE training seminars and workshops aim at building capacity by:

1) promoting the exchange of existing good practices at a regional and country levels

2) developing training modules for use adaptation by others

3) developing and applying tools to guide the development and implementation of good practices for HIV & AIDS curriculum and teaching and learning material development

• Seminars and workshops organized by IBE since 2003
• Contributions of IBE to other capacity-building initiatives and seminars/workshops in partnership

IBE is developing capacity-building concepts and projects for HIV & AIDS curriculum development in other regions of the world. This takes place within the framework of broader UNESCO initiatives aimed at strengthening the education sector response to HIV & AIDS, in particular in several Asian and Arabic countries.

IBE contributes to initiatives to strengthen capacity for HIV & AIDS curriculum development in Portuguese speaking countries in Africa and works closely with UNESCO offices in Brasilia and Maputo.

IBE collaborates closely with UNESCO offices in the field, with the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP), with the Division of Higher Education and the Division for the promotion of Quality Education at UNESCO Headquarter.
