The involvement of young people and their families in the creation and implementation of targeted interventions is commonly held as a pivotal part of the success or failure of a programme. Recruiting such groups, however, remains a challenge. A participatory assessment process is a good starting point for involving all community members, including young people, in youth reproductive health (YRH) and HIV/AIDS programme development. This toolkit provides an overview of various participatory assessment processes in the area of YRH and HIV/AIDS. Examples of good practice drawn from the work of Family Health International's youth programmes are presented. These give a clear idea of the standards, safeguards and benefits for involving young people.
