Drug Prevention Program Rolls Out in Almaty Schools
In January 2007, the Almaty City Council approved a training program on HIV prevention developed by USAID’s CAPACITY (Central Asian Program on AIDS Control and Intervention Targeting Youth and at Risk Groups) project for all general schools in Almaty. CAPACITY presented its activities and program at the Almaty City Council meeting on educational institutions’ activities for prevention of law violations and drug use. Representatives of government and international organizations, educational institutions, and NGOs working on the issues of adolescents and their rights, education, and drug prevention were in attendance.
Meeting participants expressed interest in CAPACITY’s Youth Power Center and its training programs for young people, which will now be used in Almaty schools.
