What the grant funds

The Bokamoso activity will support GOL’s multi-sector strategies and priorities for HIV mitigation and prevention for children and youth through provision of comprehensive OVC services in all ten (10) districts and DREAMS interventions in four (4) districts (Berea, Maseru, Mafeteng, Mohale’s Hoek). The Activity will also support programming to foster an enabling environment for AGYW and ABYM that will benefit all youth in Lesotho. Bokamoso will implement innovative strategies targeting the most vulnerable OVC and AGYW to improve their access to accurate HIV knowledge, sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, social protection, violence prevention, and economic and educational opportunities. Sustainability must be mainstreamed in all activity areas to ensure the continuity of key priorities in line with the GOL’s existing and planned structures, systems and processes. USAID’s expectations for technical approaches are laid out below. Programming must be framed within PEPFAR guidance for OVC1 and for HIV prevention and DREAMS2 in the target districts. DREAMS and OVC programming must be delivered in a seamless integrated manner for synergy and efficiency in these target districts. Broader structural interventions to create an enabling environment for AGYW and may also target ABYM must adhere to the DREAMS guidance.
