Emang Magazine

A learner driven HIV & AIDS awareness publication
By Christopher Batsalelwang
BOTA HIV & AIDS Coordinator

In an effort to reduce vulnerability to HIV amongst its 28,049 vocational training (VT) learners, the Botswana Training Authority (BOTA, a UNEVOC Centre) has introduced a youth magazine called Emang. The magazine is a communication tool for learners to air their points of view on HIV/AIDS and to share vital information that can help them make informed decisions about their health and life in general.

Emang also provides a platform for TVET students to strengthen their information, education and communication capacities. BOTA works in close collaboration with students from the journalism department of Mega Size Institute (one of the private training institutions accredited by BOTA) on Emang magazine. The trainee journalists from this institute form the editorial board and determine the content as well as style, design and layout.

Emang is produced on a quarterly basis, and to date, 11 editions have been published and distributed amongst vocational training learners and stakeholders around the country.

In the future, BOTA will expand the distribution of Emang to ensure that all students have access to the information disseminated through the magazine. The magazine will also be increased to 52 pages to encompass more articles.
