Relevant background information
The faculty of education at the University of Namibia has long been associated with the Child-to-Child movement through Professor Otaala its sometime dean and now chairperson of its HIV and AIDS task force. Professor Otaala has for long been one of the international advisers of the Child-to-Child movement and remains a great resource particularly in the areas of HIV and AIDS and early Childhood Education. In a forthcoming HIV-AIDS volume commissioned by the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE) Professor Otaala has a chapter entitled ‘African Tertiary Insitutinos Responding to the HIV/AIDS Epidemic’ in which he elaborates the Child-to-Child approach.
Although no specific programmes in Namibia feature the Child-to-Child approach as their main components its materials and methods are used variously in EECD programmes, UXO, HIV and AIDS and Schools Health promotion.
