Design: The CD based training module was designed based on these considerations:
	
•	It will contain a typical 5-day training program on gender and HIV/AIDS.
•	It will have two sections: one containing the training session plan, content and guidelines for the master trainer, the other containing training material that can be used in actual training sessions by the trainer.
•	It will be intuitive and easy to use. It will enable the master trainer to use the module as it is or quickly adapt the material, make handouts, plan activities/games for their training sessions.
•	The CD based module will be in English and Hindi versions.
•	The CD will have attractively designed sessions using colorful icons, navigational symbols, etc. 
•	Photos, songs, flash animations, video clips, PowerPoint presentations, PDF files, audio files etc will be a part of the sessions in the module and will be directly linked.
•	Medium resolution images of IEC material such as posters, flip books, etc, will be available in the CD for use and adaptation by the trainers. The images will not be in print-ready form for offset printing, but can be printed in black/colour desk-top printers for use in a training session.
•	Depending on the size of contents, the CD based training module may be in more than one CD. The module will be packaged along with a user guide in a sturdy jewel case. 
•	The modules are designed in such a way that the trainer can change the training duration of each session or the total training duration. Final objective is such that the CD can be used to put together a 3-day training package if required.

Accessories
There is a further proposal for a web site which will be a take off on the CD. The purpose of putting the material on a web site is to make it freely available to a larger audience without incurring replication costs. Also, the web version can be updated, say monthly or quarterly, with latest data, material, etc.  The CD has been accompanied by a small user guideline which will contain instructions about how to use the CD. CD Cover design which symbolically represents HIV AIDS and Gender has been designed by New Concept.

The module is web-enabled and available on UNIFEM website.
