This partnership has led to a one week training of twenty Scouts on an Innovative Peer Communication strategy which was hels  at IDM-Swaziland, between 12-16 January 2015 in an effort to reduce the infection rate amongst the youth in the country. The training will be an innovative strategy on how to draw attention of their peers innovatively, then disseminate HIV/AIDS information and artistically let their peers to seriously give a thought of what they can do to reduce HIV/AIDS infection rate individually.
