 AB    Over the past five years the Tanzanian-Norwegian AIDS Project (MUTAN)
       has assisted the National AIDS Control Programme in creating and testing
       innovative HIV/AIDS educational programmes. These programmes, designed
       to reach a variety of target groups, have been implemented throughout
       the Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions and include: public meetings,
       intensive courses, information centres, radio programmes and
       school-based programmes. A recent survey of 996 participants (15-54
       years old) was designed to assess public exposure to HIV/AIDS
       information. A total of 72% of the participants reported having heard
       about AIDS on the radio, 74% having read about AIDS in newspapers, and
       52% having heard about AIDS from a health worker during the previous
       month. Furthermore, 26% had listened to MUTAN's weekly radio programme
       at least once. 31% knew of MUTAN's information centres, and 15% had
       visited one of these centres. The results indicate that large proportion
       of the population is receiving in-depth HIV/AIDS information. It is
       recommended that future work concentrate on how to reach people with no
       or little formal education, young adults and women.
