The manual emerged from the collaboration and experiences of hundreds of people with HIV/AIDS from all over the world. It was designed to help people living with HIV/AIDS to become involved, establish or redirect their own groups, improve their capacities, or share their abilities with others.

The manual is also useful for leading workshops and for trainers and facilitators who have been running groups for some time or who are helping others set-up their own groups.

GNP+ makes its free manual, Positive Development, available for grassroots organizing and training.

Positive Development is now available in the following languages:

• Arabic
  
• Bulgarian
  
• Chinese
  
• English
  
• French
  
• Hindi
  
• Indonesian
  
• Khmer
  
• Portuguese
  
• Russian
  
• Spanish
  
• Vietnamese

You can download the books here! All versions are stored as PDF files. There are also limited numbers of hard copies available which can be ordered at GNP+. A contribution in shipping costs is appreciated.
