"Action Magazine is a non-government donor-funded project based in Harare, which produces a magazine for schools targeted at top primary level using a 'popular publishing' format - with comic book elements, fun and games features, cartoons, etc. - to present health and environmental science material in a manner which is attractive and easily accessible to children. The magazine was distributed to every school in Zimbabwe and, more recently, to some other countries in the Southern African region. This evaluation assessed the use of the magazine in Zimbabwe and in Botswana. Issues examines included children's visual literacy and appreciation of the health education messages, as well as the broader impact of health and environment science information on schools, children and the wider community, especially the remote and disadvantaged rural communities."
