In the table below you will fi nd a checklist of
mainstreaming elements that has been compiled
from a range of studies.
Go through the list carefully and identify no more
than six elements that, in your opinion, are the
most important for successful mainstreaming at
this stage in the sector and country where you are
working. Consider doing this exercise with other
people working in your sector. This will provide
you with ample insight into the understanding and
perceptions of others and may help in identifying
strategies and entry points.
If you had to draw up an action plan for HIV and
AIDS mainstreaming, which elements would you
start with and why?
Once you have identifi ed the priority elements,
consider the strengths and weaknesses of your
agency in terms of moving these along. How can
your agency best position itself to move these
priority issues forward and what role would you
play?
