SamenvattingBACKGROUND: Although the Eritrean Peer Education Programme (EPEP) has been in operation since 2001, the achievement of objectives is progressing on a very slow pace. This could be because of internal structures within EPEP itself or due to external factors. Thus, conducting a SWOT analysis at this point is important, in order for EPEP to map both its strengths and opportunities or weaknesses and threats. OBJECTIVE: To analyze using the SWOT analysis the internal and external factors that influence the implementation of the HIV/AIDS peer education program so as to provide recommendations for improvement. METHODS: The study was conducted in two stages. Stage one, involved conducting a SWOT analysis for the five domains that are necessary for the successful implementation of a peer education project as documented in UNFPA’s Peer Education Standards Checklist (Y-PEER). These are: planning, recruitment and retention, training and supervision, management and oversight, and monitoring and evaluation. This stage analysed evaluation reports, minutes of meetings, annual reports, training manuals and other project documents. The second stage involved conducting a literature search in international journal. Unpublished literature documenting experiences in peer education were also reviewed. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The SWOT analysis revealed that the key strength of EPEP is that: target groups are clearly identified and structures for delivering the project are in place and functional. However, areas that require improvement include: supporting the peer coordinators so that they use participatory approaches in training peer educators, strengthening monitoring and evaluation, ensuring programme activities should be participatory and all-inclusive and improve the criteria for recruitment and selection.
