    • The Trainers Manual was developed from other different manuals and toolkits that are tested and evidence-based. These include 'the international technical guidance on sexuality education an evidence-informed approach' by UNESCO, 'My Dreams, My Choice' and 'Go Girls''Engaging Community Leaders to Provide a Safe and Supportive Environment for Adolescent Girls and Young Women: A Tool for Facilitating Dialogue'  Toolkits by John Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, 'SASA! Preventing Violence against women' by Raising Voices, and ' Sexual and Reproductive Health Facilitators' Training Manual' by Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevoelkerung (DSW) among others. 

      The Trainers Instructional guide is informed by literature review of several other resources that have proved valuable in delivering Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) content to adolescents globally. 

      The Content Matrix shares resources and information on different age-related Comprehensive Sexuality Education topic content that could be used to facilitate further research. 

      Each topic has a complete lesson plan, selected training methodologies and evaluation methods. Trainers and facilitators will be able to adopt suggested methodologies to their context and national regulations around Comprehensive Sexuality Education.
