Abstracts

Seventy-four (74%) percent of new HIV infections among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa are among adolescent girls and young women, and nearly 1,000 adolescent girls and young women are infected daily. The project aims to address social isolation, poverty, discriminatory cultural norms, orphanhood, gender-based violence, and inadequate education to protect them from HIV and allow them to live to their fullest potential.

 

BACKGROUND

The New Funding Model3 (NFM3) project is a Global Fund grant that was awarded to Baylor-Uganda by The AIDS Support Organization (TASO) to address HIV-related vulnerabilities among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) for the period 2021 to 2023. The grant seeks to address the health needs of AGYW and key socio-behavioral determinants in support of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal to end AIDS. 

WHAT DO WE DO?

These services include: HIV screening, testing; and counselling; pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and condom promotion; TB screening and contact tracing.

The project has also trained 269 mentor mothers, 244 peer leaders and 120 young people (males and females) under youth livelihood program. The project had all the 19-project staff in programs were trained in service delivery to AGYW by the principle recipient.
