 It includes group educational activities, community campaigns, and an innovative evaluation model, called Gender-Equitable Men or GEM scale, for assessing the program’s impact on gender-related attitudes.The approach was subjected to quasi-experimental impact evaluation studies in Brazil, India, the Balkans and several settings in Sub-Saharan Africa, and found to lead to significant changes in attitudes among young men, in addition to self-reported increases in condom use, increased in couple communication and reductions in men’s reports of use of violence against female partners.Program H has been acknowledged by the Pan American Health Organization, UNICEF, United Nations Population Fund, United Nations Development Programme, the World Bank and the Brazilian Ministry of External Relations as a "best practice" in promoting gender equality.
